after the whole day of problems with installing ruby and rails on my  
ubuntu PC  
i got a problem i can’t find info on the web.

=\> Booting Mongrel (use ‘script/server webrick’ to force WEBrick)  
=\> Rails 2.1.0 application starting on [http://0.0.0.0:3000](http://0.0.0.0:3000)  
=\> Call with -d to detach  
=\> Ctrl-C to shutdown server  
\*\* Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:3000  
\*\* Starting Rails with development environment…  
Exiting  
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.1.0/lib/initializer.rb:225:in  
`require\_frameworks’: no such file to load – openssl (RuntimeError)

I have a version of openssl on my ubuntu pc but i can’t start webrick  
and also mongrel won’t start.
