Cannot use openssl, undefined symbol: d2i_ECPKParameter

I have this undefined symbol d2i_ECPKParameters
I have already compiled and installed openssl

irb(main):001:0> require ‘openssl’
LoadError: /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux/openssl.so:
undefined symbol: d2i_ECPKParameters - /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/
1.8/i686-linux/openssl.so

I have the same problem on REHL and Ruby 1.9.1. Anyone know whats going
on as I’m stuck.
