Gemspec doesn't include extension

Oh, interesting.. thanks for the report!

Did you get an error message or warning when you tried to install the gem?

I'll see if I can reproduce it!

There is no error message when you install the gem. It just installs without the .so file. As I understand it, this file needs to be rebuilt for the target platform, which normally happens at install time - which is why it isn't included in the gem (but the sources are).

Perhaps this normally doesn't cause a visible problem because it simply falls back on the .so file provided with the system. However, I needed to ensure that it was using a version of the .so file that was built against LibreSSL, while the system version was built against OpenSSL. For this, you need to specify "-- --with-cflags=... --with-ldflags=..." to gem install - but it's no good doing this if the gem doesn't build the library anyway.

Should be fixed now, thank you!
