Team, While installing Rails 2.1.1 unde Suse Linux, I came across an error msg telling me that I need this library, libopenssl-ruby. I am running LINUX Suse: 2.6.16.21-0.8-smp. ruby -v ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-08 patchlevel 286) [i686-linux] I performed a google search and the results was to get the libopenssl- ruby library. I don’t know where this library is and how to install it. This is my first experience with Rails and I’ve been trying to fix this problem for a few days now. I posted questions on the Ruby forum unsuccessfully. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I know very little about SUSE, but could this thread be helpful? [http://www.mail-archive.com/removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid/msg01833.html](http://www.mail-archive.com/removed_email_address@domain.invalid/msg01833.html) Yes, it’s about capistrano, but it involves making SSL work w/ Ruby on SUSE.

Hi, I know little about suse as well. I think the package manager is yast - isn’t it? Did you install ruby through suse or from source? What do you get when you try to require ‘openssl’ - here’s my session using irb: danb@lin4:~$ irb irb(main):001:0\> require ‘openssl’ =\> true irb(main):002:0\> If you’re getting a load file error here then: If you installed ruby through suse packages load up yast (or whatever it is) and browse through the ruby stuff and look for ruby add-on packages. For instance, in debian there’s a libopenssl-ruby package which I can load with aptitude/apt-get (debian’s equivalent of yast). [Someone who knows suse could step in here.] If you compiled and installed from source (your ruby is probably in / usr/local/bin or /opt ), then I would install the header files for openssl using suse’s package manager (as well as openssl itself) and then recompile ruby. I think openssl-devel might be the package to look for in yast (or whatever it is). – Daniel B.
