You need to change ruby version to at least 1.8.7-p358

I had this error after upgrading openssl libs from openssl_1.0.0h-1 (amd64) to openssl_1.0.1-4.

I'm on Debian testing wheezy.

Just use https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv to install ruby 1.8.7-p358. I had the standard ruby 1.8.7.352 from debian testing.

Hope it helps, if so comment !
