I had some trouble running a shoes app with the latest builds (under
Windows). It uses xmpp4r-simple, which needs openssl. And it seems that the
openssl lib was missing. This has been reported before:

This causes the app to bork with the following error message:


I found a workaround by copying openssl.so from the r465 windows zip file
(the more recent builds are distributed as installers only) into the
r605/ruby/lib/i386-mswin32 folder. Also, I found out that that folder
contains source files (*.h, *.c) in addition to a number of *.so files. Are
they supposed to be there? The r465 zip only contains .so files in that same
folder, so there IS a different (I haven't checked the builds inbetween).

So while it works now, it's not the best solution, I think.

Tom.
