Hi I want to istall ruby 1.9.1-p378 with openssl support. Here is the command I used ./configure --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/ssl But it returns something like "unrecognized --with-openssl-dir" How to make it work?

One way is to build manually: $ cd ext/openssl $ ruby extconf.rb $ make $ make install hth, ammar > **···** > > On Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 5:41 PM, John Wu \ wrote: > > > Hi > > > > I want to istall ruby 1.9.1-p378 with openssl support.

I came across this same issue. Just to add. If you're running Ubuntu, the standard openssl package won't contain what you need, you will want to: $ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev > **···** > > -- > Posted via [http://www.ruby-forum.com/](http://www.ruby-forum.com/). ---

Fix the errors above. > > what am I missing here? I believe you have to install openssl on your box first. As a matter of fact, I had the same problem. I installed openssl. I then went back to following ammar's instructions above, but when I 'make' it barfs. ruby extconf.rb looks like it produces good results. but make results in: /usr/lib64/gcc/x86\_64-suse-linux/4.3/../../../../x86\_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libssl.a(s2\_meth.o): relocation R\_X86\_64\_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/local/lib/libssl.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: \*\*\* [openssl.so] Error 1 I suspected this meant I needed to rebuild my openssl with -fPIC, which I did, but when I came back to do the make again, it only slightly changed the error: /usr/lib64/gcc/x86\_64-suse-linux/4.3/../../../../x86\_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.a(x86\_64cpuid.o): relocation R\_X86\_64\_PC32 against symbol `OPENSSL\_cpuid\_setup' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib64/gcc/x86\_64-suse-linux/4.3/../../../../x86\_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: \*\*\* [openssl.so] Error 1 Has anyone else seen this problem? Any suggestion as to how to proceed? Thanks, Dave > **···** > > -- > Posted via [http://www.ruby-forum.com/\](http://www.ruby-forum.com/%5C). ---
