I started to learn Ruby on Rails. First impression (based on screencasts and presentations) was very good. Next… I wanted to try it by myself. And first trouble… “initializer.rb:271:in `require_frameworks’: no such file to load — net/https (RuntimeError)”

However since the beginning…

Install Ruby

sudo apt-get install ruby

Install RubyGems

sudo apt-get install rubygems

Install Rails

gem install rails

Make an application

rails myappname
cd myappname
ruby script/server

And… first error. What can I see on console?

=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 2.3.8 application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000
/home/user/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.8/lib/initializer.rb:271:in `require_frameworks': no such file to load -- net/https (RuntimeError)
(...)

What is wrong?
I don’t have the Ruby SSL support installed.

What can I do?

sudo apt-get install libopenssl-ruby1.8

and that’s all. Everything works fine right now.

thanks, was running into this problem too, and this fixed it. but how you went from “net/https” to “sudo apt-get install libopenssl-ruby1.8″ remains a mystery to me!

Chalk it up to idiot policies for splitting packages by linux maintainers.

rake and irb aren’t included in the based ruby package ubuntu, really?

Note: This error cropped up after upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Apparently the upgrade manager thought this library should be removed along with a couple hundred other that were legitimately obsoleted. My site came back up after adding this library back.
