Skethcup require doesn't work but require loads normally

Hi, I want to publish my extension, and the Digital signature says that everywhere I have to use Sketchup.require. I use a zipping library in my extension so I guess I need to change all require-s to Sketchup::require in the library too.
These

 require 'delegate'
 require 'singleton'
 require 'tempfile'
 require 'tmpdir'
 require 'fileutils'
 require 'stringio'
 require 'zlib'

I changed to

 Sketchup::require('delegate')
 Sketchup::require('singleton')
 Sketchup::require('tempfile')
 Sketchup::require('tmpdir')
 Sketchup::require('fileutils')
 Sketchup::require('stringio')
 Sketchup::require('zlib')

Everything works fine except of two files (zlib, stringio) required in the zipper.
I get

Error loading file stringio
Couldn't find included file 'stringio'

And the same error I get for zlib

I also can find the following files in these locations
C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2018\Tools\RubyStdLib\rubygems\util\stringio.rb
C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2018\Tools\RubyStdLib\rubygems\util\stringio.so

C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2018\Tools\RubyStdLib\platform_specific\zlib.so

I even don’t know which of the above is included during require
stringio.rb
or
stringio.so.

Please help me to understand why I get such kind of error only on this files.
Is it connected to their format (if it tries to require files with so extension) or I have missed something else.

only for encrypted files, if the files are in RubyStdLib they will work with require…

You might check, but I’m pretty sure that stringio.so should be in the same folder as zlib.so, and not in the folder with stringio.rb. Maybe a typo…

@MSP_Greg I’ve just checked, and
Yes you are right, it seems I have missed something.
