Thanks a lot pal, it worked perfectly for me too. I had the same openssl
problem on a new ubuntu server box. Thanks for the tip.

So much for distribution's package managers making your life easier,
huh? ;-)

I don't think anybody reported a bug about that to Ubuntu or Debian. And
Ubuntu just imports the Ruby packages from Debian.

Also, it works perfectly fine here. On a clean Debian install:
apt-get install ruby libopenssl-ruby ; ruby -e 'require "openssl"'
doesn't raise any error.

If you can still reproduce this, I would be interested in the outputs of
"dpkg -l | grep ruby" and "dpkg -L libopenssl-ruby1.8" on your system.

I did not try the ruby package.

This worked for me:

1) Compile SSL from scratch

2) Make note of the install location, shown as
/where/you/installed/openssl below

3) Use the earlier instruction (above) to manually create the extension:

cd ext/openssl
../../ruby extconf.rb
--with-openssl-include=/where/you/installed/openssl/include
--with-openssl-lib=/where/you/installed/openssl
LD_RUN_PATH=/where/you/installed/openssl/lib make
make install

I'm not sure the LD_RUN_PATH is needed, but I've had problems with Ruby
before so included it to be safe.
