Hi Ron

I was able to build Ruby a few weeks ago. I might have used a different repository. I can't remember. Any ideas??

I've updated openssl to version 0.9.8 (default install). The OpenSSL team made some API-changes which let ruby's build fail. First of all, they do not longer include stddef.h - which results in an 'unknown type size_t' error. The second problem is, that they removed the 'flags' attribute from the structure X509_STORE_CTX in x509_vfy.h. Try my attached patch. bye, danm -- Daniel Mueller http://www.danm.de Berlin, Germany OpenPGP: 1024D/E4F4383A
