<p>I am trying to do 'rake db:migrate' and getting the error message 'no such file to load -- openssl'. Both 'openssl' and 'openssl-devel' packages are installed. Others on Debian or Ubuntu seem to be able to get rid of this by installing 'libopenssl-ruby', which is not available for RedHat. Has anybody run into this and have a solution for it?</p>

There is probably a gem you are missing.  Can you provide the stack trace and the line of code where it originates?
Re-run rake with
```
--trace
```
to get the stack trace printed.
EDIT: Also what version of Ruby are you running?  openssl.rb is in my 1.8.6 install
