Rails Ruby on Rails

The 3.0.4 and 3.0.3 activesupport gems seem to have some sort of zlib encoding issue. I cannot install or unpack the gems in ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10

To reproduce:

$ gem install --version="3.0.3" activesupport ERROR: While executing gem ... (Zlib::DataError)

invalid stored block lengths

Using bundler:

$ bundle install
