After installing a ruby rpm package from Bull AIX with all dependencies I get the following error ... <br />

Ruby does install, but when it needs openssl support it barks as well as rubygems ..<br />

If anyone has compiled ruby from src I would be willing to follow your procedure if it resolves the above issue.

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
