I realized I need to install linecache19, but I am getting the same failure, is this a problem in general with ruby 1.9.1 gems?

The error line is this one:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/https.rb:102:in `require': no such file to load -- openssl (LoadError)

which suggests that your Ruby 1.9.1 was compiled without OpenSSL support.

If you compiled your Ruby yourself, you can compile the OpenSSL support by going into ext/openssl and running:

$ ruby extconf.rb $ make $ make install

Otherwise, let us know your OS (and package manager if you used one), or see if Google has an answer.

Chris,

thanks that fixed my problem! I am going to assume I don't need to rebuild ruby again for openssl support?

Kind Regards, Rajinder

No, I don't think you need to recompile the whole thing; you just needed to get that extra library in, and it sounds like it's working now!

Great, thanks again!
