Rails on Ubuntu 9.04

Here some good advises how to install Rails on Ubuntu 9.04: Installing Ruby on Rails on Debian/Ubuntu

After I finished the installation I created a new app and tried to start up the development server. That failed with below message:

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.0.2/lib/initializer.rb:159:in
`require_frameworks': no such file to load -- openssl (RuntimeError)

To fix this you need to install OpenSSL:

sudo apt-get install openssl
 
sudo apt-get install libopenssl-ruby

After that WEBrick started up without issues and served the standard welcome page.
