Question

I’ve seen this problem posted in other blogs and stackoverflow threads, but no one seems to have the answer. I’m trying to run heroku and getting this error:

/usr/local/heroku/vendor/gems/rest-client-1.6.1/lib/restclient.rb:9:in `rescue in <top (required)>': no such file to load -- net/https. Try running apt-get install libopenssl-ruby (LoadError)

from /usr/local/heroku/lib/heroku/cli.rb:1:in `<top (required)>'
from /usr/bin/heroku:29:in `require'
from /usr/bin/heroku:29:in `<main>'

Problem is that libopenssl-ruby is already the newest version.

Has anyone else come across this problem?

I Just had similar problem on my ubuntu 10.04, fixed it this way :

EDIT:

Quicker fix:
check /usr/local/heroku/bin/heroku what version of ruby it is using
I had:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby1.9.1

Then install the right lib:

$ sudo apt-get install libopenssl-ruby1.9.1

---

Old:

Install rvm: http://beginrescueend.com/rvm/install/

To ~/.bashrc add:

[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" 

run:

$ source ~/.bachrc

Then:

$ rvm remove 1.9.2
$ rvm pkg install openssl
$ rvm install 1.9.2 -C --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr

after running last command i had this output, note the ruby-1.9.2-p290:

Installing Ruby from source to: /my/home/dir/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290, this may take a while depending on your cpu(s)

then edit /usr/local/heroku/bin/heroku
In first line change:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby1.9.1

To:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby-1.9.2-p290 

you might need to install some missing libs for all of this to work, this will help to find what

$ rvm notes

I hope this helps.
