Hi,

I wanted to request help on trying to resolve an error while running a rb 
script. I am a Java developer and also CVS admin for a development group.I 
have been wanting to try Ruby for a while,and when i came across the cvsspam 
ruby script to notify users of cvs commit changes,i decided this was my 
chance.

cvsspam requires ruby, and so i installed Ruby 1.8.3 on our CVS Server( 
didnt build from source, but got binary ruby-1.8.3-sol9-sparc-local from 
sunfreeware.com). Our CVS box runs solaris. I followed the instructions to 
setup ruby and cvsspam and now when i try commiting any file to cvs,the 
cvsspam ruby script generates the  following error:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/sparc-solaris2.9/digest/md5.so: ld.so.1: 
/usr/local/bin/ruby: fatal: libcrypto.so.0.9.8: open failed: No such file or 
directory - /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/sparc-solaris2.9/digest/md5.so 
(LoadError)
	from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/net/smtp.rb:24
	from /cvsroot/CVSROOT/cvsspam.rb:1813
/cvsroot/CVSROOT/collect_diffs.rb:292:in `mailtest': problem running 
'/cvsroot/CVSROOT/cvsspam.rb' (RuntimeError)
	from /cvsroot/CVSROOT/collect_diffs.rb:449

I also installed the openSSL package(again binaries from sunfreeware) and 
can see the file libcrypto.so.0.9.8 in the servers /user/local/ssl/lib/ 
directory.

Can anyone please help me out in figuring what went wrong? I desperately 
need to track whats happening to my repository and all help is sincerely 
appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Vik.
