Issue report

Fill in as much as possible so that we can understand, find and fix the problem.

Are you sure this is a bug in Passenger?

It seems to be a bug in the Passenger + nginx startup script.

Please try with the newest version of Passenger to avoid issues that have already been fixed

This is happening with the latest version of Passenger.

Question 1: What is the problem?

Your answer: The issue is very easy to reproduce:

1. Start an Amazon Linux machine.
2. Install Ruby and the passenger gem.
3. Start the server.

Gem installation works fine, however starting the server falls back to compilation:

$ bundle exec passenger start
 --> Downloading a Phusion Passenger(R) agent binary for your platform

 --> Installing Nginx 1.24.0 engine
     Sorry, the precompiled Nginx engine can not be run your system.

---------------------------------------

No precompiled Nginx engine could be downloaded. Compiling it from source instead.
...

The problem was caused by a missing library (libxcrypt-compat) that prevented the precompiled Nginx from starting.

The DownloadNginxEngineCommand#test_binary(filename) check failed, but not much is visible from the outside.

It would be helpful to log the captured output, so that the error is more obvious and easier to address.
