I have just installed rails and am working my way through the tutorial on railstutorial.org. In CH2 where you set up the basic app, after I generate the scaffold for the users and I try to load the page, @http@://localhost:3000/users I receive:

LoadError: (no such file to load -- openssl):

The default page loads properly. I even tried the tutorial on http://guides.rubyonrails.org and changed the config/routes.rb file to read:

  Blog::Application.routes.draw do    
  #...  # You can have the root of your site routed with "root"  
  # just remember to delete          public/index.html.  
  root :to => "home#index"

The error is still the same. I am not sure what openssl is.

Any help is appreciated. Many thanks.

Edit: Sorry. Using Fedora 13 and Ruby1.9.2/Rails 3.0

My guess is that Ruby was built without OpenSSL support. Try building from source, following step 4 of the readme: edit ext/Setup and remove the # before openssl. Then make and make install.

Note: I don't have a Fedora system available, so I haven't tested this.

  • Changed the file as instructed and ran make-make install. Same result. I probably messed up something. Thanks though – winarm Sep 28 '10 at 17:37
  • If you don't have the ssl headers, it won't build. Did you get any output along those lines when you ran make? – Velociraptors Sep 28 '10 at 22:32

Try using RVM, you can manage ruby versions and gems easily. It also provides answers for many questions related to missing libraries like openssl in your case. link text
