ubuntu下通过源码编译安装ruby，安装时由于缺少一些库，所以源码安装时有些东西并没有安装上去如运行rails时出现如下错误：

Running RoR for the first time:
$  ruby script/server

提示不能引导openssl，则肯定是源码安装ruby时确实库没有安装openssl，此时进行如下操作重新安装openssl：


$ sudo apt-get install openssl libssl-dev
$ sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev

/usr/src/ruby-1.9.1-p378为源码位置
$ cd /usr/src/ruby-1.9.1-p378/ext/openssl
$ sudo ruby extconf.rb
$ sudo make &&sudo make install
