Hi Steve,
Thank you for your suggestion. I already tried gen install mechanize. I
just did it again to post the outcome:
First:
[root@oc7871667644 ~]# *ruby -v*
*ruby 1.9.2p180 (2011-02-18 revision 30909) [x86_64-linux]*
I was missing the *libxml2*, as you can see from this msg:
[root@oc7871667644 ~]# gem install mechanize
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing mechanize:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
/usr/local/bin/ruby extconf.rb
checking for libxml/parser.h... no
···
-----
*libxml2 is missing.* please visit
Installing Nokogiri - Nokogiri for help with
installing dependencies.
I went to the page listed above and followed the procedure listed,
installing the require packages.
I then proceded to install *mechanize* and it worked.
*NOW I HAVE A NEW PROBLEM, WITH OPENSSL:*
I tried installing *openssl via: rvm package install openssl This
installation worked. *However, the shoes install still complaining that
openssl is not there.* openssl* is found at: */usr/local/rvm/usr/bin/openssl
*:
*OpenSSL> version
OpenSSL 0.9.8n 24 Mar 2010

THE FOLLOWING IS THE OUTPUT WHEN I TRY T BUILD SHOES:

I also checked the *openssl* that came with RHEL 6:
[root@oc7871667644 openssl]#* rpm -qa | grep -i openssl*
openssl-1.0.0-4.el6_0.2.x86_64
openssl098e-0.9.8e-17.el6.x86_64
openssl-1.0.0-4.el6_0.2.i686
Basically, I am totally lost.
Thank you for your help.

Hm, the last person that got that error said they were using 1.8, but
you're
obviously using 1.9.1.
Can you try running 'gem install mechanize' and then doing it again,
please?
If this is needed, I"ll add it to the instructions.
