You need the ruby openssl bindings (if you installed ruby via apt then  
you can also install them via apt (called something like libopenssl-  
ruby), if you installed ruby from source then you need to install the  
openssl development package and then install the openssl-ruby bindings  
(part of the ruby source code)).
