I upgraded from Rails 3.0.11 to 3.1.3. When I start the server, it's giving the error:

Any idea how to fix this?
Maybe the ffi gem was not installed properly?
gem uninstall ffi
Assuming you are using Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install libffi libffi-dev
gem install ffi -v 1.0.11
As I already have 'ffi' installed. I have to find another solution, try below(Which helped me):
Locate the file "libffi.so.5", if it is not present check for "libffi.so." (in my case it was 6, that is libffi.so.6).
Now unlink the file associated with the "/usr/lib64/libffi.so.6". (In my case it was pointed to "libffi.so.6.0.1")
Now create a new symlink for "libffi.so.5", such that "/usr/lib64/libffi.so.5" should point to the new one, "libffi.so.6.0.1".
ie,the final set up should look like:- "/usr/lib64/libffi.so.5 -> libffi.so.6.0.1"
Hope this helps.(I use Amazon Linux AMI based instances.)
