I have been trying to setup Ruby on Rails for the past 2 days

  • 0

I have been trying to setup Ruby on Rails for the past 2 days now. I had them running at one stage but broke it. I have gone through re-installing Ruby and Rails via RVM and I am attempting to get going on the tutorial I have been working on. The problem I have is that when I run the command ‘rails s’ within the Rails app directory I get the following error message:

    The first line has the following error:

    `require': no such file to load -- openssl (LoadError)
    

    RVM needs to know how to get to your openssl library.

    See http://beginrescueend.com/packages/openssl/ for more information on setting up openssl with RVM.
