This error is stating that the openssl extension for your ruby is not present. More information is needed in order to fix this. Try remaking the openssl extension: 1. cd to the ruby distro 2. cd ext/openssl 3. ruby extconf.rb 4. make 5. [sudo] make install ---

It's failing to find the openssl header file (that is, the openssl development directories are not in your path). Lets say your openssl was built into the folder /usr/local/openssl > ls /usr/local/openssl bin include lib Then you can pass this parameter to the config script: > ruby extconf.rb --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/openssl There are other params too like --with-openssl-include-dir, --with- openssl-lib-dir, etc ---

thnx alot aboy help me in this proplem ,i do what u said above but the problem still alive , i downloaded the last version of openssl in it's official site in this link: [http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz](http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz) ,and install the source of ruby again from the official site and install both the openssl and ruby , coz i think thats the lack of lib can be found in the source but after setup the problem still alive !!!! any other solution ?? ---

I think --with\* options need to get passed to the toplevel ruby ./ configure script. Then run the make and the openssl extension should build. Check the notes in this thread [http://www.groupsrv.com/computers/about65075.html](http://www.groupsrv.com/computers/about65075.html)
