I was trying to install Redmine on rails 2.0.2 (this is not a rails question) and I received the following error message: no such file to load -- openssl I went to /ruby-1.8.6/ext/openssl and typed make and received the following error message: make: Nothing to be done for `all'. My question is: How can I install or enable openssl for ruby 1.8.6 in order to complete my install for rails.

Jason, I ran into the exact same issue recently. Make sure you have the Open SSL development libraries and header files somewhere in a standard location for compiling software, then try: make clean, configure, make, and make install. You didn't specify which OS you do have, so, YMMV 🙂 HTH, Howard > **···** > > -- > Posted via [http://www.ruby-forum.com/\](http://www.ruby-forum.com/%5C). ---

Thank you. I'm using a non-debian linux... I installed openssl from scratch. Let me try what you've suggested.

Still getting the same error... make: Nothing to be done for `all'. How can I ensure that the headers and dev libraries are properly installed? Jason Bornhoft wrote: > **···** > > > Thank you.

You're sure you ran make clean first? If that still doesn't do it, you'll have to re-run configure with the location of your openssl. > **···** > > On Jul 2, 2008, at 21:12 PM, Jason Bornhoft wrote: > > > > Howard Roberts wrote: > > > > > > > Jason Bornhoft wrote: > > > > > > > > > I went to /ruby-1.8.6/ext/openssl and typed make and received the > > > > > following error message: > > > > > > > > > > make: Nothing to be done for `all'. > > > > > > > > I ran into the exact same issue recently.

Yes, that would do it. When you built ruby from scratch openssl was not on your system. At that point ruby had no way of building the openssl extension so it would of course exclude it. If you are building ruby from scratch, then you must make sure that all the dependencies that ruby requires and for the extensions you want to build are already on the system. enjoy, -jeremy > **···** > > On Thu, Jul 03, 2008 at 01:23:16PM +0900, Jason Bornhoft wrote: > > > Eric Hodel wrote: > > \> On Jul 2, 2008, at 21:12 PM, Jason Bornhoft wrote: > > \>\>\>\> location for compiling software, then try: make clean, configure, > > \>\>\>\> make, > > \>\>\>\> and make install.

a) unpack and install ruby b) notice that openssl extension is missing c) install openssl libs + headers # you are here d) make clean in ruby e) make and install ruby should do it. the first time around ruby generated a do-nothing Makefile for the openssl bindings. make clean removes this empty makefile so that it can be generated correctly. If you still don't have openssl after that, you'll need to tell configure where you installed it. > **···** > > On Jul 2, 2008, at 22:20 PM, Jeremy Hinegardner wrote: > > > On Thu, Jul 03, 2008 at 01:23:16PM +0900, Jason Bornhoft wrote: > > > > > Eric Hodel wrote: > > > > > > > On Jul 2, 2008, at 21:12 PM, Jason Bornhoft wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > location for compiling software, then try: make clean, configure, > > > > > > > make, > > > > > > > and make install.

Problem solved! For anyone else with the same issue... here is what i did: install openssl:     ./config --prefix=/usr/local --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl     make     make test     make install (as root)     ./config shared --prefix=/usr/local --openssldir=/usr/local/ssl     make clean     make     make install (as root)     cd /usr/local/ssl/lib     cp \* /usr/lib To avoid getting the following error later when you compile OpenSSH:     configure: error: Your OpenSSL headers do     not match your library copy all the SSL include files everywhere:     cd /home/tjnelson/openssl/openssl-\*     cd include/openssl     cp \* /usr/include     cp \* /usr/local/ssl/include     cp \* /usr/local/ssl/include/openssl and then add /usr/local/ssl/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and type     ldconfig Then i returned to ruby-\*/ext/openssl and ran: ruby extconf.rb make clean make make install worked like a charm!!! thanks for all of your help > **···** > > > > On Jul 2, 2008, at 22:20 PM, Jeremy Hinegardner wrote: > > -- > Posted via [http://www.ruby-forum.com/\](http://www.ruby-forum.com/%5C). ---

It sounds like your base openssl headers are broken.
