I've recently looked into using this shh library on Win2k, but have run 
into a problem.  When running even simple code, I get a message box that 
tells  me, "The ordinal 2586 could not be located in the dynamic link 
library LIBEAY32.dll"

Does anyone know what causes this error, and how to fix it?

I've seen in the net-ssh docs that the code may need a current version 
of OpenSSL; I think I have that, running the most recent one-click 
installer of Ruby 1.8.2 on Windows.

Any ideas?
