RVM 1.1.7 - problems with zlib

gistfile1.txt

I just installed RVM on my Ubuntu 10.04 box and I'm having the zlib problem, i.e.:

jseidel@EDP15:~$ rvm gem list
ERROR:  Loading command: list (LoadError)
    no such file to load -- zlib
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (NameError)
    uninitialized constant Gem::Commands::ListCommand

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

rake (0.8.7)

although it does run to completion; rvm gem search also works, with the same error:

jjseidel@EDP15:~$ rvm gem search hpricot -r
ERROR:  Loading command: search (LoadError)
    no such file to load -- zlib
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (NameError)
    uninitialized constant Gem::Commands::SearchCommand

*** REMOTE GEMS ***
<snip>


rvm gem install hpricot works just fine, with error messages.

And the funny thing is that rvm gem -v gives me two lines of output

jseidel@EDP15:~$ rvm gem -v
1.3.7
1.3.7

I do get "rvm is a function" with type rvm...
I installed a boatload of zlib-related libraries with sudo apt-get and that all went OK...

It's good that things seem to work, but I'd sure like to figure this out and clean it up.

Thanks...jon
