I tried this and it looks like it partially works but when I try to do a list I get:

$ gem --version
1.3.1
$ gem list --local
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/spec_fetcher.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- zlib (LoadError)

Any ideas? It looks like something with zlib and I'm not sure where to look to make sure it built correctly
