install/enable openssl for rails 2.0.2

I was trying to install Redmine on rails 2.0.2 and I received the following error message:

no such file to load -- openssl

I went to /ruby-1.8.6/ext/openssl and typed make and received the following error message:

make: Nothing to be done for `all'.

My question is: How can I install or enable openssl for ruby 1.8.6 in order to complete my install for rails.

Thank you!

Have you run make install

It might be worth trying it from scratch:

ruby extconf.rb make clean make make install

Thank you for your reply.

here is what happened:

Sounds like you either don't have the development stuff for openssl
(may be in a separate package) or it's somewhere that extconf.rb
couldn't find. You might to pass --with-openssl-include and --with- openssl-lib options to tell it where openssl is.

Problem solved! For anyone else with the same issue... here is what i did:

install openssl:

    ./config --prefix=/usr/local --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl     make     make test     make install (as root)     ./config shared --prefix=/usr/local --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl     make clean     make     make install (as root)     cd /usr/local/ssl/lib     cp * /usr/lib

To avoid getting the following error later when you compile OpenSSH:

    configure: error: Your OpenSSL headers do     not match your library

copy all the SSL include files everywhere:

    cd /home/tjnelson/openssl/openssl-*     cd include/openssl     cp * /usr/include     cp * /usr/local/ssl/include     cp * /usr/local/ssl/include/openssl

and then add /usr/local/ssl/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and type

    ldconfig

Then i returned to ruby-*/ext/openssl and ran:

ruby extconf.rb make clean make make install

worked like a charm!!!

thanks for all of your help
