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

rvm pkg install openssl (older format - rvm package install openssl)
rvm pkg install iconv (older format - rvm package install iconv)
rvm remove 1.9.2
rvm install 1.9.2 -C --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr,--with-iconv-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr

Answer 2

You might want to try running ruby-1.9.2-rc2 instead of head? not sure if it will solve this issue or not, but I did have a lot of problems trying to run under head

pretty sure the the command would look like - rvm install 1.9.2-rc2

you will need to re-install rails again

Answer 3

You have to install library for openssl/net/http run the following code and then install openssl and iconv.. Following code will work on UBUNTU..

sudo apt-get install libopenssl-ruby1.9.1 this is for ruby 1.9.1.

sudo apt-get install libopenssl-ruby for ruby 1.8.x

Answer 4

This error means that your Ruby isn’t compiled with openssl. Assuming that you use RVM, these are the steps to follow to fix this issue.

1.Install the openssl package

rvm pkg install openssl

2.Remove the Ruby installation you’re using

rvm remove 1.9.3

3.And finally recompile Ruby with openssl

rvm install 1.9.3 --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr

4.Everything should be working now. Don’t forget to:

rvm use 1.9.3 --default

Answer 5

I made

rvm pkg install openssl
rvm reinstall 1.9.3

and done!

Answer 6

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
