And you did run: ruby setup.rb when you installed rubygems?

What happens if you try: gem install rails --include-dependencies

yes, I installed rubygems with : ruby setup.rb

I have installed zlib from http://www.zlib.net and ruby-zlib from http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/ruby-zlib and I have re-installed ruby and rubygems as well.

This didn't help either. I am still getting same error.
