Does anyone know of a useful reference for Ruby’s OpenSSL libraries? I’m getting a useless error and the rdoc is effectively non-existant. – “Hey brother Christian with your high and mighty errand, Your actions speak so loud, I can’t hear a word you’re saying.” -Greg Graffin (Bad Religion) ---

Okay, after increasing frustration and trying the ssl.connect again I get an actual error message. Errno::ECONNABORTED: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine. Any ideas what could be killing the connection on my end? Keep in mind this is a Windows box (XP Service Pack 2). I get identical behavior on a Win 2003 server machine. The real odd thing is that the first time I try to connect (i.e. after restarting irb) I don’t get any real error message. Upon trying the connect call again I get the ECONNABORTED error.

this solve yours problems: install _openssl_: ``` ./config --prefix=/usr/local --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl make make test make install (as root) ./config shared --prefix=/usr/local --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl make clean make make install (as root) cd /usr/local/ssl/lib cp * /usr/lib ``` To avoid getting the following error later when you compile OpenSSH: ``` configure: error: Your *OpenSSL* headers do not match your library ``` copy all the SSL include files everywhere: ``` cd /home/tjnelson/*openssl*/*openssl*-* cd include/*openssl* cp * /usr/include cp * /usr/local/ssl/include cp * /usr/local/ssl/include/*openssl* ``` and then add /usr/local/ssl/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and type ``` ldconfig ``` Then i returned to ruby-\*/ext/_openssl_ and ran: ruby extconf.rb make clean make make install 2009/12/20 Frederick C.
