I encountered the same problem when I was installing Rails on Ubuntu but I was able to install zlib and then proceeded to installing Rails.

Here's what I did:

1. Download and installed zlib from source.

   wget http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.7.tar.gz
   tar -xvzf zlib-1.2.7.tar.gz
   cd zlib-1.2.7/
   sudo ./configure && sudo make && sudo make install

2. "Register" zlib module before recompiling and reinstalling Ruby

   cd ruby-source-distro-path/ext/zlib

   sudo ruby extconf.rb

   sudo make && sudo make install
