openssl compilation fails for ruby-1.8.2-preview2 on redhat 7.2

How do I disable it to continue?

Thanks,

Never mind, I just chucked the ext/openssl directory.

This error comes from the fact that installed openssl is too old.
Try to compile OpenSSL 0.9.7d. Install it for example
/usr/local/openssl-0.9.7 and configure ruby to use it e.g. ./configure
.... --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/openssl-0.9.7 ... Note you have to
set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to have new openssl lib path.

I am mostly autoconf-ignorant. I this version dependency something
that autoconf could be trained to detect?

Autoconf should detect correct OpenSSL compilation defines, so that
it builds ruby openssl with the features that are available OpenSSL
package. I think your error is caused by mismatched openssl headers.
Ruby autoconf finds that there is engine member available, but in
compilation phase the error occurs.
You could check if you have multiple openssl.h in your compilation
environment and delete unnecessary ones.

_ That's the problem actually, it's detecting one version and
using another. I have the same problem locally and it's a royal
PITA if both libraries are in the default path for gcc. If at all
possible make sure only one openssl is installed. I tried a bunch
of autoconf foo to get around this and none of it worked.

_ I would really like a "Don't use ssl_engine no matter what"
option. I guess I'll have to write though...
