Well Team, you might be correct!That been said, I got this error while  
installing Rails under Suze. To be precise, I am copying below the  
actual  
errors.  
The problem is that I performed a google search and the results was to  
get  
the libopenssl-ruby library.  
Any help is greatly appreciated!
