This issue found me today. The Ruby source code includes an openssl directory and make quite happily reports compiling openssl, which must be a stub. It's only when you require openssl (e.g. in Rails 2 for the cookie sessions) that you find it doesn't work. ..then you go through a head scratching phase that leads to the discovery that you need to install the obtusely named libssl-dev package to resolve :-) Thanks for your post!
