After upgrading to Lion I can’t run standalone passenger. It throws following error when I tried to compile it using passenger package-runtime.

This error is caused (probably) by newer rake. Workaround for this is uninstalling newer version (in my case 0.9.2) and use older 0.8.7. But when I executed passenger package-runtime after that, it throws another error.

This time its nginx compile error. Thanks to google code issues there is a workaround too. It seems, Lion has newer version of openssl libraries and nginx calls some deprecated functions. Suggested workaround (which requires homebrew) is following.
First install openssl libraries using
brew install openssl
then use installed openssl libraries instead default OS X one
brew link openssl
after that try build standalone passenger again.
passenger package-runtime
If everything is working, don’t forget to unlink homebrew openssl library
brew unlink openssl
If you get following error,
passenger start
*** ERROR ***
Could not start Passenger Nginx core:

Phusion Passenger installation is broken or incomplete. Please reinstall Phusion
Passenger (-1: Unknown error)

you can try delete passenger build files
rm -rf ~/.passenger
and after that run
brew link openssl
passenger start
If building ends with
All done!
=============== Phusion Passenger Standalone web server started ===============

you won :). After that don’t forget to run

Hope this workaround helps to run standalone passenger on Mac OS X Lion.
