OpenSSL for Ruby 1.8.5

[speric]

Trying to run a Rails app that needs to use OpenSSL, among other
libs. Get this error:

This error occurred while loading the following files:
net/https
openssl

I am using Ruby 1.8.5, and it's my understanding that openssl does not
come with this version? I have the OpenSSL libraries compiled for
Linux, can anyone help me try to get the openssl Ruby libraries
running with 1.8.5? Thanks.
