troubles with RVM and OpenSSL

Question

Trying to set up a new macbook for a colleague. Not going well.

First I install OpenSSL:

Heathers-MacBook-Pro:~ heather$ rvm pkg install openssl
Fetching openssl-1.0.1c.tar.gz to /Users/heather/.rvm/archives
######################################################################## 100.0%
Extracting openssl to /Users/heather/.rvm/src/openssl-1.0.1c
Configuring openssl in /Users/heather/.rvm/src/openssl-1.0.1c.
Compiling openssl in /Users/heather/.rvm/src/openssl-1.0.1c.
Installing openssl to /Users/heather/.rvm/usr

Please note that it's required to reinstall all rubies:

    rvm reinstall all --force

Updating openssl certificates

Then I try to install ruby with openssl...

Could not load OpenSSL.
You must recompile Ruby with OpenSSL support or change the sources in your Gemfile from 'https' to 'http'. Instructions for
compiling with OpenSSL using RVM are available at rvm.io/packages/openssl.

btw, the gem file says "source https://rubygems.org"

ideas?

Answer 1

On MacOS 10.12.2 installing openssl via brew, won't work. To fix it, run:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

And then install Ruby via rvm.

EDIT: More information about the reason behind the problem here.

Answer 2

Try this:

rvm get head
rvm pkg remove
rvm requirements run  # if brew gives you warnings about formulas to install, run "brew install" for each before moving on.

rvm reinstall [the version you need (i.e: 2.0.0)]

Answer 3

For those who have issue with openssl 1.1 and Ruby 2.3 via RVM on Mac Mojave, you could try following commands. The problem is Ruby 2.3 is not compatible with openssl 1.1

rvm pkg install openssl
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/.rvm/usr/lib/pkgconfig rvm reinstall 2.3.3 --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr

Answer 4

It's well described on ArchLinux wiki:

Ruby versions older than 2.4 require OpenSSL 1.0 but RVM will try to build them with OpenSSL 1.1.

So you can do (easiest):

$ rvm pkg install openssl
$ rvm reinstall 2.3.5 --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr

You can see more solutions on ArchLinux wiki.

Answer 5

OP actually saved my day! In my case:

$ rvm pkg install openssl
$ rvm remove 2.4
$ rvm install 2.4 --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr
$ gem install bundler

Answer 6

openssl version: 1.0.2k

This worked for me:

brew reinstall openssl
