It looks like the version of the Ruby/OpenSSL module you have installed 
is not the right version... The RSA and DSA keys in the version in 1.8.2 
allow for a no-argument constructor, whereas prior versions in did, and 
that's the problem you are seeing.

Try this:

   ruby -ropenssl -e "OpenSSL::PKey::DSA.new"

If that fails, then you know you've got the wrong version. If it 
succeeds...well, let me know.
