Amazon Linux stack installing Phusion Passenger

Question

I'm trying to install Phusion Passenger to launch an 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?

In Amazon Linux distribution the packages you are looking for are openssl-devel and libcurl-devel. Do this to install:

sudo yum install libcurl-devel openssl-devel
