From: Nate Wiger Date: 2008-08-29T02:25:34+09:00 Subject: Re: openssl error - ubuntu This worked for me: 1) Compile SSL from scratch 2) Make note of the install location, shown as /where/you/installed/openssl below 3) Use the earlier instruction (above) to manually create the extension: cd ext/openssl ../../ruby extconf.rb --with-openssl-include=/where/you/installed/openssl/include --with-openssl-lib=/where/you/installed/openssl LD_RUN_PATH=/where/you/installed/openssl/lib make make install I'm not sure the LD_RUN_PATH is needed, but I've had problems with Ruby before so included it to be safe. -Nate -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
