hi all,

I have met a problem on installing rubyworks on centos5. I have  
checked the install steps from here:  
[http://rubyworks.rubyforge.org/installation/centos.html](http://rubyworks.rubyforge.org/installation/centos.html)

when running the command: sudo yum install rubyworks, i got the  
following errors:

* * *

## → Running transaction check → Processing Dependency: libreadline.so.4 for package: ruby-libs → Processing Dependency: libssl.so.4 for package: ruby-libs → Processing Dependency: libcrypto.so.4 for package: monit → Processing Dependency: libcrypto.so.4 for package: ruby-libs → Processing Dependency: libssl.so.4 for package: monit → Processing Dependency: libdb-4.2.so for package: ruby-libs → Restarting Dependency Resolution with new changes. → Populating transaction set with selected packages.

As in centos, the version of these packages is higher, which are  
libssl.so.6, libcrypto.so.6 and libreadline.so.5.

Anyone knows how to solve this problem?

I found the build of the ruby packages on some versions of CentOS to  
be broken - seem to be missing support for ssl.

After trying various approaches, the only one that worked was to  
remove them all and build ruby from source 🙂

Just make sure you have all the -dev packages for ssl and anything  
else you need before you configure and build ruby.
