I’ve got an app that requires the openssl library. Whenever I run it, it just says “no such file to load – openssl.” Didn’t know I had to install anything special to get openssl in Ruby. What do I have to do? Thanks, Pat ---

You can get full Ruby 1.8 distribution by installing following packages. ruby1.8 ruby1.8-dev ri1.8 rdoc1.8 irb1.8 ruby1.8-elisp ruby1.8-examples libdbm-ruby1.8 libgdbm-ruby1.8 libtcltk-ruby1.8 libopenssl-ruby1.8 libreadline-ruby1.8 #v- ‘aptitude install libopenssl-ruby1.8’ should help with the particular problem. If you want to be on the safe side, install all of the above packages. HTH, t. ---

This is probably what you need: libopenssl-ruby1.8 - OpenSSL interface for Ruby 1.8 Try apt-get install libopenssl-ruby ---

As an aside, although it’s not the Debian way, I’ve found it easier to not install the official Debian packages, but instead just install Ruby from source into its own --prefix=/opt/ruby-1.8.4, then install RubyGems, then get everything else as-needed using the gem command. Dunno if that would fix your ssl issue though. ---

Can you give us a little howto on that? I have been battling gem vs. apt forever. Last time I tried to compile Ruby there were a bunch of dependencies and it took me quite a while to get it done. Which makes me think… if this is the best way to go, I’ll keep track and write a script to do it next time. Though if I wrote it in Ruby I’d have to package it as an executable or something… I’d love to have a one-click installer under Linux that leaves all the gems just working properly. ---

Feel free to leave out packages you don’t need from this. BUt if you just cd to your home dir and run this script with sudo you will get a fully functionaly ruby install including other niceties.
