Using: Mountain Lion 10.8.2, RVM 1.18.15

Having trouble with, apparently, openssl when trying to install Ruby 2.0.0 via RVM:

$ rvm install 2.0.0
...
Extracting openssl to /Users/meltemi/.rvm/src/openssl-1.0.1c
Configuring openssl in /Users/meltemi/.rvm/src/openssl-1.0.1c.
Error running './Configure darwin64-x86_64-cc -I/Users/meltemi/.rvm/usr/include -L/Users/meltemi/.rvm/usr/lib zlib no-asm no-krb5 --prefix=/Users/meltemi/.rvm/usr no-shared ', please read /Users/meltemi/.rvm/log/ruby-2.0.0-p0/openssl/configure.log
Compiling openssl in /Users/meltemi/.rvm/src/openssl-1.0.1c.
Error running 'make', please read /Users/meltemi/.rvm/log/ruby-2.0.0-p0/openssl/make.log

so I brew install openssl to update openssl to 1.0.1e hoping that would help but there were still more errors (see "long output").

So, dug around Stack Exchange and loosely followed suggestion on this post which recommended rvm get head (as opposed to my typical rvm get stable) and noticed:

$ rvm get head

ERROR:  While executing gem ... (NoMethodError)

Interesting bit being cannot load such file -- openssl.

What gives?

long output:

after updating openssl to 1.0.1.e via homebrew tried again but for whatever reason 1.0.1c is still being referenced:

Solution 1:

Had the same problem. Try the following:

$ rvm remove 2.0.0 # get rid of unsuccessful installation
$ rvm get head --autolibs=3 # get the latest RVM and build required libs
$ rvm requirements # just in case, install all other required stuff
$ rvm install ruby-2.0.0
$ rvm --default use ruby-2.0.0
