Hello, I am new to Ruby, and I have played around a bit using a pre-built package of 1.8.7. I am running openSUSE 11.3 64-bit, and I am trying to compile 1.9.1. For some reason, I seem to keep running into this problem with OpenSSL: compiling openssl make[1]: Entering directory `/home/kota/Programs/Ruby/ruby-1.9.1-p429/ext/openssl' gcc -I. -I../../.ext/include/x86_64-linux -I../.././include -I../.././ext/openssl -DRUBY_EXTCONF_H=\"extconf.h\" -fPIC -O2 -g -Wall -Wno-parentheses -o ossl_pkcs7.o -c ossl_pkcs7.c make[1]: Leaving directory`/home/kota/Programs/Ruby/ruby-1.9.1-p429/ext/openssl’ ossl\_pkcs7.c:575:14: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘\_\_attribute\_\_’ before ‘\*’ token ossl\_pkcs7.c: In function ‘ossl\_pkcs7\_set\_certificates’: ossl\_pkcs7.c:613:5: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘pkcs7\_get\_certs\_or\_crls’ ossl\_pkcs7.c:613:11: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast ossl\_pkcs7.c: In function ‘ossl\_pkcs7\_get\_certificates’: ossl\_pkcs7.c:623:5: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘ossl\_x509\_sk2ary’ makes pointer from integer without a cast ossl.h:117:7: note: expected ‘struct stack\_st\_X509 \*’ but argument is of type ‘int’ ossl\_pkcs7.c: In function ‘ossl\_pkcs7\_set\_crls’: ossl\_pkcs7.c:653:10: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast ossl\_pkcs7.c: In function ‘ossl\_pkcs7\_get\_crls’: ossl\_pkcs7.c:663:5: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘ossl\_x509crl\_sk2ary’ makes pointer from integer without a cast ossl.h:118:7: note: expected ‘struct stack\_st\_X509\_CRL \*’ but argument is of type ‘int’ make[1]: \*\*\* [ossl\_pkcs7.o] Error 1 make: \*\*\* [mkmain.sh] Error 1 I have libopenssl-devel libopenssl1\_0\_0 libopenssl1\_0\_0-32bit openssl installed.

I am trying to compile the “stable snapshot” on the Ruby downloads page. I assume that should work with openSSL 1? ---
