I am trying to install rails 4.2 on redhat 6.6. I have installed ruby 2.0.0 using rvm without an issue; however, when I try to issue:
gem install ruby
I get the following error:
Running 'compile' for libxml2 2.9.2... ERROR, review '/home/smcgarry/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p643/gems/nokogiri-1.6.6.2/ext/nokogiri/tmp/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/ports/libxml2/2.9.2/compile.log' to see what happened.
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary
libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may
need configuration options.
When I check compile.log, I see the following:

I'm not very knowledgable when it comes to Linux admin stuff so I'm not really sure what to do from here. It sounds as though I might have an outdate version of zlib (installed version is zlib-1.2.3-29.el6.x86_64). However, I haven't been able to find a way to upgrade this. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where go to next?
