I have been trying to install Passenger on a vps with the following:

  • CentOS release 4.5 (Final)
  • gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-8) box
  • Apache/2.2.11 (Unix)
  • Ruby Enterprise Edition
  • Ruby 1.8.6
  • Gem 1.3.5

I installed the gem

gem install passenger

when i run passenger-install-apache2-module I get the following message indicating I am missing development headers:

  • GNU C++ compiler... found at /usr/bin/g++
  • Curl development headers with SSL support... not found
  • OpenSSL development headers... not found
  • Zlib development headers... not found
  • Ruby development headers... found
  • OpenSSL support for Ruby... found
  • RubyGems... found
  • Rake... found at /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20090201/bin/rake
  • rack... found
  • Apache 2... found at /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd
  • Apache 2 development headers... found at /usr/local/bin/apxs

  • Apache Portable Runtime (APR) development headers... found at /usr/local/apache/bin/apr-1-config
  • Apache Portable Runtime Utility (APU) development headers... found at /usr/local/apache/bin/apu-1-config

I then following the provided instructions on how to install each:

Does this indicate that they are already installed? Do I have to tell passenger where to find these? My site is currently down, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I found this (code.google.com/p/phusion-passenger/issues/detail?id=554) which is a slightly different issue, but ran through the solutions anyway, to no avail. Curl -V gives me the following: – Tom
curl 7.12.1 (i686-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.12.1 OpenSSL/0.9.7a zlib/1.2.1.2 libidn/0.5.6 Protocols: ftp gopher telnet dict ldap http file https ftps Features: GSS-Negotiate IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz – Tom
I installed glibc-devel which cleaned up the issues with OpenSSL and the Zlib. Still working on Curl – Tom

I had this same problem and solved it by doing this:

sudo yum install zlib-devel e2fsprogs-devel krb5-devel libidn-devel

That took care of it. I found this solution on the code.google.com site mentioned above, but noticed that there had been some new activity since this question was posted on Nov 24, 2010.

I followed the instructions in comment #18, and it worked for me. Hope it helps.
