Confused about this log file report

Is there a problem with my mongrel clusters that openssl is not starting
or do you think it’s the other way around? (that my openssl is missing,
so the server won’t start?)

Hope someone can lend a hand…

`gem_original_require’: no such file to load – openssl

This line tells me that you don’t have OpenSSL Ruby bindings
installed.
