SSL not installed error when trying to install Rails w/ gem

< ^ > P N |<>|^_>< --- | ~ ...Help

I got ruby and gems installed on Red Hat, then updated gems.
I am now trying to install Rails with gems and am getting the error:

SSL not installed on this system

Is there any way around this other than installing OpenSSL?

thanks
