Google Query: ERROR: while executing gem … (Gem::Exception) SSL is not installed on this system
I received this error when I tried to install Ruby on Rails on another Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (7.10) system the other day. After some Google searching I finally found my answer at Nabble.com.
Basically, you have to install “libopenssl-ruby” by typing the following in at the Terminal:
sudo apt-get install libopenssl-ruby
That’s it! You should be able to install Rails without that ssl error now.
I would also like to thank Reader, leondu, for pointing out that Ruby Gems is now at version 0.9.5. I have updated “How to Install ruby on rails on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon” to reflect the changes and the above error.
Happy Coding!

Really, the error message should indicate that. It doesn’t even say “No Ruby bindings” just “it’s not installed”. I went bonkers trying to figure that one out before I realized that there was a Ruby gem.
Also - on a different box I had a custom version of Ruby installed in a different location that was futzing things up (everything from rmagick to psql worked but not openssl). I reinstalled it to the “Standard” location and all was well.
