Hi There, I’m getting the following errors while starting webrick.  
I’m using (ruby 1.8.7 (2008-06-20 patchlevel 22) [i686-linux]), Rails  
2.1.0, and Gem 1.2.0.  
I’m using the same in my local server and its working perfectly.

=\> Booting WEBrick…

You need the ruby openssl libraries (eg libopenssl-ruby1.8 on ubuntu)

Thanks Fred for all your support.  
I got this problem solved by installing openssl-devel packages  
and reconfigure all the ruby packages from scratch.
