Yes, kudos on what sounds like a good start on zlib. Hopefully the bits that RubyGems needs won't be outside the bounds of Java's zip support. Feel free to send along whatever you have when you're comfortable with it.

  Cool.  At this point you should consider copying /usr/lib/ruby/1.8
into jruby_home/lib/ruby/1.8.  The error you are seeing is the fact
that jruby has not yet included find.rb.  Copying the directory should
get you a long ways.
