Rails 3 - no such file to load — openssl

Question

when running a Rails server, I get the following error: no such file to load -- openssl

I try a solution I find online. I go to ~/.rvm/src/ruby-1.9.2-head/ext/openss

Answer 1

first check your rvm having the openssl package. Go to /usr/local/src/rvm/ruby-1.9.2-p290/

then go to ext/openssl.

type ruby extconf.rb If we found errors like this

enter code here
=== OpenSSL for Ruby configurator ===
=== Checking for system dependent stuff... ===
checking for t_open() in -lnsl... no
checking for socket() in -lsocket... no
checking for assert.h... yes
=== Checking for required stuff... ===
checking for openssl/ssl.h... no
=== Checking for required stuff failed. ===
Makefile wasn't created. Fix the errors above

Then install apt-get install libssl-dev.Once installed rub ruby extconf.rb.Now the openssl will get installed
