I’m getting a failure to use gem net-ssh on a SUSE Linux 10 machine.

I’ve tested with the suggested command:  
ruby -ropenssl -e ‘puts OpenSSL::OPENSSL\_VERSION’

from [http://net-ssh.rubyforge.org/ssh/v2/api/index.html](http://net-ssh.rubyforge.org/ssh/v2/api/index.html)

but no such luck. I also rebuilt ruby, but can’t seem to get the ssh  
binding going.

Any advise on either how to bind or completely manually build  
libopenssl-ruby1.8?
