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?

I had this problem on Ubuntu, after upgrading to 8.10. The solution for Ubuntu was

sudo apt-get install libopenssl-ruby
