The grep for ruby was just a dumb mistake of course.

I don't see ssl.h *anywhere* at all.

However, I *thought* that I had it installed, for two reasons:
1. I can use ssh and scp. Don't they depend on openssl? Or is
    there a lib distro without headers (rpm I guess)?
2. And yet I have old openssl.so files which I believed came from
    building ruby; which would mean I'd have to have an ssl.h.

*sigh*

I guess I'll just grab it off the web and build it...
