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. Really, the error message should indicate that. It doesn’t even say “No Ruby bindings” just “it’s not installed”.
