Can't do "gem update --system" - libcrypto.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or di

Hi,

I’ve update the software on my linux box ( v4 to v5.0
http://clarkconnect.com/ ) upgrade something has gone screwy with my
Ruby installation on the machine. Any ideas?

My ruby/rails installation was working fine until I did the Linux
update. Gem Update Affected (not that the ‘md5.so’ is actually there
in the directory)

You probably need to recompile ruby against the newer libraries. I
bet the old ones were all deleted. Sounds like a terrible upgrade
process.

thanks Eric - I’ll try this…
