openssl problem when running thin

[gomesp]

I am trying to run toto locally on thin and I am getting the following error:

/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/thin-1.2.7/lib/thin.rb:6:in require': no such file to load -- openssl (LoadError) from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/thin-1.2.7/lib/thin.rb:6:in<top (required)>'
from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/thin-1.2.7/bin/thin:5:in require' from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/thin-1.2.7/bin/thin:5:in<top (required)>'
from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/bin/thin:19:in load' from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/bin/thin:19:in

'

I am running thin on an Ubuntu 10.04 VM. If I try to "apt-get install openssl" I am told that I already have the latest version, and I if I try "gem install openssl" I am told that there is no gem package with that name.

How can I solve that dependency?

apt-get install libopenssl-ruby
You might have to recompile Ruby & EventMachine if you installed from source.

Thanks for the help.

I installed using ruby gems, so I guess that no recompile is needed. But unfortunately the error persists.
