Hi,

I compile Ruby 2.1.2 from source but "get recipe for target 'openssl_missing.o' failed". I don't understand why it's using openssl_missing as my copy of OpenSSL works and is passed to configure. Any help with this would be much appreciated. More info below.

Ruby downloaded from http://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.1/ruby-2.1.2.tar.gz

Configure line: (I've got things in non standard places, but that's why I'm passing them as options in variables)

../ruby-2.1.2/configure --prefix=$MY_RUBY_INSTALL_DIR --with-openssl-dir=$MY_OPENSSL --with-gcc=$(which gcc) --with-readline-dir=$MY_READLINE

I added in the Readline option after reading somewhere that it helped, but it didn't, so you can probably ignore it.

The error that comes up on make:

Use homebrew's openssl instead of OpenSSL.framework.

I don't use homebrew as it removes anything that wasn't using its own recipes, which doesn't suit my needs here. Add to that, it seems it's a problem elsewhere too http://code.activestate.com/lists/ruby-talk/47204/

I'd either like this reopened or given a different reason to close, reliance on a 3rd party package manager isn't an adequate reason to me.
