Problem with Ubuntu 12.10

[Bob Sleys]

I decided to give the beta of Ubuntu 12.10 a try and ran into the following problem when doing a bundle install or bundle update on an existing project using hobo from git. Note the bolded and highlighted undefined symbol: SSLv2_method.  After a bit of googling around I found this posting http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8206546/undefined-symbol-sslv2-method apparently OpenSSL is being built by Conical without SSLv2 support due to security concerns.

I'm going to see if I can find a workaround for this but I thought I'd pass it on if anyone else runs across the same problem.  I don't know what needs to change to move off of SSLv2 to SSLv3 but perhaps if I can install an earlier version of openssl I can get around the problem for now.

Using dryml (1.4.0.pre9) from git://github.com/tablatom/hobo (at master) with native extensions 

Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

An error occurred while installing dryml (1.4.0.pre9), and Bundler cannot continue.

Make sure that `gem install dryml -v '1.4.0.pre9'` succeeds before bundling.

ok quick followup.  The following will get around the issue.

sudo apt-get install libssl0.9.8

cd /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu  <-- will be x86 or something like that on a 32 bit install

sudo ln -s libcrypto.so.0.9.8 libcrypto.so.10

sudo ln -s libssl.so.0.9.8 libssl.so.10
