What you are trying to do should be covered by M2Crypto. Without more
context for the error (what was the file you were trying load, etc.) it
is hard to say what is wrong. My first guess is that your pem file did
not include the BEGIN/END lines.

I would suggest you take a look at the tests and samples included in
M2Crypto. They do show how to work with PEM files.
