what do i need to get this gem to install? i can’t find the mkmf.log for this? Building native extensions. This could take a while… ERROR: Error installing ruby-debug-base19: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /usr/local/bin/ruby extconf.rb \*\*\* extconf.rb failed \*\*\* Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers.

If you compiled your Ruby yourself, you can compile the OpenSSL support by going into ext/openssl and running: $ ruby extconf.rb $ make $ make install Otherwise, let us know your OS (and package manager if you used one), or see if Google has an answer.

No, I don’t think you need to recompile the whole thing; you just needed to get that extra library in, and it sounds like it’s working now! Chris ---
