Does anyone know how to get around this:

Does anyone know how to get around this:

Make sure to install every package under the sun before installing ruby
from source, perhaps?

I've already installed everything that looks likely, the next step
would be to try to install every package with 'ssl' in the name.

BTW, looks like other people have had this issue with no resolution either:

Also, I tried this after uninstalling the ruby that came with Ubuntu.
Didn't help. I also reinstalled the Ubuntu built-in ruby ssl package.
Didn't help.

Did you install libssl-dev?

Most of the time that errors like that occur on Ubuntu they are due to
the dev packages not being installed....

Yes! The patch you put on the ticket does seem to fix it! Thanks, Matz...
