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

This solved the problem for me:

rvm pkg install openssl
rvm reinstall 1.9.2 --with-openssl-dir=$rvm_path/usr

And don't forget to change the ruby version to your version you are using. If you have an old rvm you may should update this at first too.

Answer 2

check this instruction http://rvm.io/packages/openssl/ - keep in mind that the Quick fix is just one block not the whole page.

Answer 3

Try the below steps.

1. rvm get stable
2. brew install libyaml
3. rvm pkg install openssl
4. rvm install ruby-2.0.0 --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr
5. rvm use ruby-2.0.0

if you already have ruby version use

rvm reinstall ruby-2.0.0 --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr

Answer 4

For ubuntu, I did the following:

apt-get install libssl-dev
cd ruby-1.9(source directory used to install ruby)/ext/openssl
ruby extconf.rb
make
make install
