Here's something to give a try...

If you got your Ruby from a package manager, you have to get an extra package before reinstalling Ruby. If you built from source (as is currently the only way to get Ruby 1.9.1 on Ubuntu) then you still have to get the extra package, but you don't have to reinstall Ruby.

From the repository

  1. sudo aptitude install libopenssl-ruby1.9
  2. sudo aptitude install ruby1.9

From source

  1. sudo aptitude install libopenssl-ruby1.9
  2. cd ~/Downloads/ruby-1.9.1-p0/ext/openssl
  3. ruby extconf.rb && make && sudo make install

Note that if you haven't installed Ruby yet, you don't need to build the openssl gem manually -- I believe it will automatically get picked up during the regular Ruby 1.9.1 build process if all the dependencies are already there.

Disclaimer...

I'm not 100% sure these steps are accurate, so if they're not, please leave angry messages and I'll try to fix the directions. Otherwise, hope they help!
