Hi Sebastian, Eliminating the noise… On Fri, 2009-06-19 at 09:21 -0700, .sebas wrote: > /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.2/lib/initializer.rb: > 269:in `require\_frameworks’: no such file to load – openssl > from /home/sebas/rails/myapp/config/environment.rb:9 You read the stack trace from bottom to top. In your case… In environment.rb at line 9 you’re requiring the openssl gem but do not have it installed, at least not where Rails expects it to be. ‘gem list’ will tell you what gems you have installed HTH, Bill ---

If you built ruby from source yourself the problem is probably that you didn’t have the openssl development headers installed (again, another package). If you install those you should be able to build & install the openssl ruby extension Fred ---

Hi guys, thank you for the answer. However, I have already Openssl installed. Have a look: sebas@sebas-desktop:~$ openssl OpenSSL\> version OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007 As I said, I have exactly the same in my laptop, and it’s working great. The only difference is that there I’m running an Ubuntu 8.10, just an older version. I really can’t find the difference! Hope U can help me! Sebas. ---
