Rails & OpenSSL: `require_frameworks': no such file to load

Rails
1

I have Ruby 1.8.7, Gems 1.3.5, Rails 2.3.4, OpenSSL 0.9.8k installed on
a Solaris machine.

I have tried using the extconf.rb in ruby/ext/opennsl, but I get this:
checking for openssl/ssl.h… no

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Nik W.

A quick googling gave answer from another forum as

You need openssl-devel library.
So install it first

Here are the next steps:

  1. cd /ruby_install_dir/ext/openssl
  2. ruby extconf.rb
  3. make
  4. make install

You need openssl-devel library.

I compiled OpenSSL from the source, so I should have all the headers and
stuff. It seems like Rails can’t find it, and I don’t know how to tell
it where to look.

ruby extconf --with-openssl-include=/path/to/openssl/headers --with-
openssl-lib=/path/to/openssl/libraries

This didn’t work.

Thanks for the responses!

Maybe you need to tell extconf where you ssl stuff is. You should be
able to do something along the lines of

ruby extconf --with-openssl-include=/path/to/openssl/headers --with-
openssl-lib=/path/to/openssl/libraries

When you compiled it, did you use --prefix to specify the install
location? If not it should be /usr/local/lib or something similar.

Once you know where it installed you can add an entry into
/etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig. After that your system will know
about the new headers.

Is the location of openssl on your search path? What happens if you
type “which openssl”?

The easiest way to ensure that it’s found is, if you’re building from
source, use the configure command to install on your path. For
instance I use /opt/local as a repository and have /opt/local/bin on
my PATH. So I run:

$ cd ~/src/openssl-0.9.8j
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --any-other-configuration-options
$ make
$ make install
$ which openssl
/opt/local/bin/ssl
$ openssl version
