Hello,

I tried taking Capistrano out for a test drive and I can’t even get out  
of  
the garage.

I am following the instructions here:  
[http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/98#page262](http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/98#page262)

As well as Duncan Davidson’s Deploying Rails with Lighty:  
Deploying Rails with  
LightTPDhttp://duncandavidson.com/essay/2005/12/railsonlighty

Specifically, when I do:

rake remote:exec ACTION=setup

I get this error:

```
loading configuration

```

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/capistrano-1.1.0/lib/capistrano/recipes/standard.rb  
loading configuration ./config/deploy.rb

- executing task setup
- executing “mkdir -p -m 775 /usr/www/rails/hellorails/releases  
/usr/www/rails/hellorails/shared/system &&\n mkdir -p -m 777  
/usr/www/rails/hellorails/shared/log”  
servers: [“[theimageengine.com](http://theimageengine.com)”]  
(in /home/turner/play/rails/hellorails)  
rake aborted!  
no such file to load – openssl

Can someone please lend a hand. Thanks alot!

I’d say you were out of the garage, but still in the driveway.

You need to install openssl ruby bindings on your server. I’m not an  
expert on this, but I believe that many (most?) Ruby installs include  
these, but it may not be installed by default on some systems including  
Debian and derivatives.

Consult the documentation for your server.

I’m on a SuSE box. What is the name of the module I need to gem install?

Can someone please explain to me how to install a newer version of the  
openssl/openssh libraries on my find old SuSE 8.2 box. I can’t use RPM,  
that  
does not install a version high enough to prevent rake from aborting  
when  
running: rake remote:exec ACTION=setup. The relevant ruby script  
requires  
openssl \> 0.9.6. SuSE 8.2 RPM only goes up to 0.9.6i. I need 0.9.7 or  
greater.

I can’t just uninstall the RPM due to dependency hell.

I’m completely stumped.
