Amazon Linux stack installing Phusion Passenger

Question

I'm trying to install Phusion Passenger to launch a RoR app on an AWS stack with Amazon Linux 64 bit.

When Passenger checks for required software I'm getting the following error:

Curl development headers with SSL support... not found

I tried several options:

sudo yum install libssl-dev
sudo yum install libcurl4-openssl-dev

But I always get something like:

No package libcurl4-openssl-dev available.

Do you know if it's possible to install Curl SSH headers in this stack?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Answer 1

If you're using the Amazon Linux distribution the packages you're looking for are openssl-devel and libcurl-devel

You can install them by running

sudo yum install libcurl-devel openssl-devel

Hope this helps
