Thanks a lot! I was having a problem compiling nokogori native extensions, copying libz.1.dylib as you suggest solves the problem. I didn’t try Josh’s technique.

Why not just delete the bad copy of zlib? A fresh install of OS X has nothing in /usr/local.

Are you using MacPorts? You may need to migrate your old binaries. See the MacPorts migration docs:

And here’s a script that may ease the pain:

Note: I had to do the same for libz.1.dylib + libz.1.2.3.dylib to get the pg (postgres) gem to install.

Thank you, I was banging my head trying to get the mysql gem installed after upgrading to Snow Leopard as well and this works great.

Thanks for this post. It saved me a lot of time. FYI, it seems my libz was installed in /opt/local/lib/ . Nevertheless, I copied the original libz.dylib from OSX10.6 as per your experience and it worked as well.

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 16 28 Apr 2008 libz.1.dylib -> libz.1.2.3.dylib
-rwxrwxr-x 2 root admin 83232 28 Apr 2008 libz.a
-rwxr-xr-x 1 rupert admin 23852 3 Mar 21:53 libz.dylib
