Installing Openssl on Ubuntu
If you have tried to install Mechanize or any gem that requires openssl on Ubuntu or Debian, you may have encountered the following error…
LoadError: no such file to load—openssl
despite the fact that you have installed openssl with “gem install libopenssl-ruby”.
Thanks to this thread, I found out that in order to install openssl, you have to tell ruby how to compile the openssl extension, like this…
cd /ruby-1.8.4/ext/openssl
ruby extconf.rb
make
make installTrackbacks
