LoadError: no such file to load -- openssl

After installing the aws-s3 gem on Ubuntu, I wasn't able to load it:

$: irb
>> require 'rubygems'
=> true
>> require 'aws/s3'
LoadError: no such file to load -- openssl

I thought it was because I just didn't have openssl installed. So I installed it:

$: sudo apt-get install openssl

Still not working. So I installed...

$: sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

Still not working. Turns out I needed...

$: sudo apt-get install libopenssl-ruby

Bingo!

$: irb
>> require 'rubygems'
=> true
>> require 'aws/s3'
=> true
