I am currently using ubuntu 11.10. I just now installed rvm and ruby 1.9.2. When I try to install rails I get the following error

ERROR:  Loading command: install (LoadError)
    no such file to load -- zlib
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (NameError)
    uninitialized constant Gem::Commands::InstallCommand

I tried installing zlib library in many ways but I still get this error and couldn’t proceed further.

    Do the following:

     1. install zlib devel (sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev )
     2. cd /path_to_your_ruby_install_directory
     3. cd ext/zlib/
     4. ruby extconf.rb
     5. make
     6. make install
    

    After that try to install rails again

    After a little research I found this link that I consider to be more useful for your case.
