I''m having the same problem one one of my servers but not all of them.
I
don''t see what the difference is. But on my development box, Webrick
fails to start with the openssl exception. On the test box, it runs
fine. So, can you be specific about what files/libraries I can look for
to verify that openssl is installed with the development headers?

I followed the instructions at rubyonrails.org/down. There was no
mention there that openssl is an external requirement - I thought that
it came with ruby-1.8.6. I downloaded and compiled ruby-1.8.6 with
"./configure --prefix=/home/mdhender". Checking the config logs,
there''s
nothing about openssl. No warnings, no errors, no complaints. I just
don''t see what configure is looking for.
