after the whole day of problems with installing ruby and rails on my ubuntu PC i got a problem i can't find info on the web.

=\> Booting Mongrel (use 'script/server webrick' to force WEBrick) =\> Rails 2.1.0 application starting on [http://0.0.0.0:3000](http://0.0.0.0:3000) =\> Call with -d to detach =\> Ctrl-C to shutdown server \*\* Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:3000 \*\* Starting Rails with development environment... Exiting /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.1.0/lib/initializer.rb:225:in `require\_frameworks': no such file to load -- openssl (RuntimeError)

I have a version of openssl on my ubuntu pc but i can't start webrick and also mongrel won't start.

make sure you have all the ruby packages (libopenssl-ruby in particular)
