No such file to load -- openssl (RuntimeError)

Hi.

I have been trying all day to set up RoR; I got Ruby, Rails, Rubygems.
Everything is installed (they all react to --version). However, when I
try to run the webserver, I get the following message (terminal output
below).

I have googled this error and found hundreds of webpages. None were of
any help though. People were told to get libopenssl-ruby, among other
packets, but I have all of the packets mentioned in the posts I found.
Yet, it still fails to work… I woke up this morning with a lot of
enthusiasm to get this working, but after errors and more errors, it’s
getting pretty demotivational. Hopefully some friendly person here can
help me out!

I have exactly the same problem :S

I’d like to add that this is running a Ubuntu 9.04, sw versions: ruby
1.8.7, Rails 2.3.2

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

actionmailer (2.3.2)
actionpack (2.3.2)
activerecord (2.3.2)
activeresource (2.3.2)
activesupport (2.3.2)
rails (2.3.2)
rake (0.8.6)

Something else? Sb, any idea?? Please!

Cheers,
Sebas.

I have the same set up and I am experiencing the same problem as sebas.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Please try on Centos and RHEL base server.

yum install openssl

and on windows i have not much idea but try to install bin of openssl.

Thanks-
Shrii

Hi all, the answer to your woes is to install libopenssl-ruby1.8

This assumes you’re using ruby version 1.8 of course

on deb systems do the following

$sudo apt-get install libopenssl1.8

Just for good measure I also install libruby1.8-extras

Hope this helps

Cheers
