Env: SUSE LINUX 10.1 (X86-64)

with Ruby 1.8.7-p72, RoR I can get welcome screen, but after that always get Memory Fault

Then I installed current stable ruby 1.8.7 (2008-12-29 revision 0) [x86_64-linux] ruby: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/ openssl.so: undefined symbol: EVP_MD_CTX_md I founded some ssl.rb test, it give: ruby: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/ openssl.so: undefined symbol: EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cipher

I also installed http://www.rubyenterpriseedition.com/download.html same error

Then installed snapshot ruby 1.9.1 (2009-01-04 patchlevel-5000 trunk 21288) [x86_64-linux] same problem ...

I'm real newbie with Ruby/RoR, this was my 1st install (trying) to create RoR environment.

After this I updated RoR      gem install -v=2.2.2 rails

Then rest was ...#)&%

rails new rails/new>script/server /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:153:in `require': no such file to load -- test/unit/error (MissingSourceFile)         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/ lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:153:in `block in require'         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/ lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:521:in `new_constants_in'         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/ lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:153:in `require'         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/ lib/active_support/deprecation.rb:224:in `<top (required)>'         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/ lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:153:in `require'         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/ lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:153:in `block in require'         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/ lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:521:in `new_constants_in'         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/ lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:153:in `require'         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/activesupport-2.2.2/ lib/active_support.rb:37:in `<top (required)>'         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rails-2.2.2/lib/ commands/server.rb:1:in `require'         from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rails-2.2.2/lib/ commands/server.rb:1:in `<top (required)>'         from script/server:3:in `require'         from script/server:3:in `<main>'

Somebody said for me that RoR is nice, maybe ? But heavy job put to work.

ROR is great! look more informations about how to install rails…see the following link http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtosInstallation

Your problem is that the openssl library installed on your system is too old. Update that to the latest version and this problem should go away.

This was "interesting process" - I hate some distros ..., Suse 10.1 is one of those

I updated Suse openssl using ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/suse/x86_64/update/10.2/rpm/x86_64/ - openssl is about one year old, still same problem with 1.8.7-p72 - then I install also ruby and ruby-dev from suse site ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/suse/x86_64/update/10.2/rpm/x86_64/ - it's 1.8.5, but my ssl.rb test works

I also tried openssl using source, but ruby making say something about "use -fPIC flag compiling openssl .." I was used ...

Now I have some working ruby + RoR environment, even little old. Maybe this is enough for me to test RoR possibilities. I tested also blog, using db postgreSql 8.3.5 - works fine, but encoding set not work ... active_record pg not use database.yum encoding setting ? - edited manually   /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.2.2/lib/active_record/ connection_adapters utf8 -> latin1 and now it works ...

I think that if your pg instance has created latin1, then database must be also latin1. Ex. sorting and indexing use instance character set and locales Ex. I have created using --locale=fi_FI --lc-collate=sv_SE initdb -E LATIN1 --locale=fi_FI --lc-collate=sv_SE

http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started_with_rails.htm was the most helpful for me to create RoR env and first servers.
