I got this error:`require\_frameworks’: no such file to load – openssl  
(RuntimeError)  
My OS is Fedora Core 13

If i compile extconf.rb, i got this error:

On a Debian based system, you would install the openssl-ruby package  
using “sudo apt-get install libopenssl-ruby1.8”. Yum on Fedora should  
have a similar library somewhere.
