RoR-ers, I've bumped into an issue with ruby and ssl. I'm trying to run a rake command which aborts because it cannot find openssl.rb. I followed these steps:   - mkdir /rho; chown phor /rho   - wget ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8.7-p72.tar.bz2   - tar jxf ruby-1.8.7-p72.tar.bz2   - cd ruby-1.8.7-p72   - vi ext/Setup and uncomment these lines: bigdecimal curses digest digest/md5 digest/rmd160 digest/sha1 digest/sha2 iconv openssl readline socket strscan thread zlib   - ./configure --prefix=/rho   - make   - make install   - create a 1-line file (in /rho/.rho) and then dot-it: export PATH=/ rho/bin:${PATH}:. I saw this: $ /rho/bin/ruby -v ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [x86\_64-linux] Next, I installed gems:   - wget gems: wget [http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/45905/rubygems-1.3.1.tgz](http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/45905/rubygems-1.3.1.tgz)   - tar zxf rubygems-1.3.1.tgz   - cd rubygems-1.3.1; ruby setup.rb --no-rdoc --no-ri I saw this: $ /rho/bin/gem -v 1.3.1 Next, I installed rails: gem install rails --no-rdoc --no-ri I saw this: $ /rho/bin/rails -v Rails 2.2.2 Next, I did this: $ gem install rspec-rails rake --no-rdoc --no-ri I saw this: $ /rho/bin/gem list \*\*\* LOCAL GEMS \*\*\* actionmailer (2.2.2) actionpack (2.2.2) activerecord (2.2.2) activeresource (2.2.2) activesupport (2.2.2) rails (2.2.2) rake (0.8.3) rspec (1.1.12) rspec-rails (1.1.12) Next, I did this: cd ~/software/ git clone git://github.com/rhomobile/rhosync.git mkdir log; touch log/development.log /rho/bin/rake gems:install I saw this: (in /phor/software/rhosync) rake aborted! no such file to load -- openssl (See full trace by running task with --trace) To me, It looks like openssl.rb is missing somewhere. I assume it should be under /rho which is where I installed ruby. I'm on ubuntu-linux and I do see openssl development packages inside of my OS: $ apt-cache search libssl cl-plus-ssl - A simple Common Lisp interface to OpenSSL dcmtk - The OFFIS DICOM toolkit command line utilities libdcmtk1 - The OFFIS DICOM toolkit runtime libraries libdcmtk1-dev - The OFFIS DICOM toolkit development libraries and headers libssl-ocaml - OCaml bindings for OpenSSL libssl-ocaml-dev - OCaml bindings for OpenSSL libssl-dev - SSL development libraries, header files and documentation libssl0.9.8 - SSL shared libraries libssl0.9.8-dbg - Symbol tables for libssl and libcrypto Also, I see this: $ apt-cache search libopenssl-ruby libopenssl-ruby - OpenSSL interface for Ruby libopenssl-ruby1.9 - OpenSSL interface for Ruby 1.9 ruby1.8 - Interpreter of object-oriented scripting language Ruby 1.8 libopenssl-ruby1.8 - OpenSSL interface for Ruby 1.8 Clues anyone? ---
