SUMMARY: SSL needed for "gem install rails"

ruby did have openssl installed

        bash-3.00# ruby -e "puts require('openssl')"
        true

switched to rubygem-0.9.4 and i was able to get rails installed

        bash-3.00# gem install rails --include-dependencies
        Successfully installed rails-1.2.6
