Document that zlib source is required for installing nokogiri #29

Closed jeremiahsnapp closed 9 years ago

jeremiahsnapp commented 9 years ago

A number of people (especially those using Ubuntu 12.04) are having problems installing nokogiri when all they need to do is install zlib source on their system.

sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
OR
sudo yum install zlib-devel

Please add this to the install tutorial somewhere.

nokogiri 1.6.6 should at least provide better error output showing the dependency.
