getting an error from ssl?

[briandsquinn]

been getting this error with any version of Ruby I try to install. I've tried reinstalling openssl and still getting the same thing.

here's the last few lines of the log file it created:

edits were me being a noob at github. trying to figure out that quote thing. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It would really help if you provided:

• ruby-build version
• your OS information
• which -a openssl and openssl version

[briandsquinn]

AH! i guess it would, wouldn't it?

Ruby_Build version 20170726
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
OpenSSL 1.1.0g 2 Nov 2017

i also did openssl version -a and got:

OpenSSL 1.1.0g 2 Nov 2017

OPENSSLDIR: "/usr/lib/ssl"
ENGINESDIR: "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/engines-1.1"

is that what you need for -a oppenssl ?

[mislav]

@briandsquinn Thank you! Could you try a newer version of ruby-build to see if there are any differences? https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build/releases

[tpope]

Same setup with 20180601 and can confirm the same failure. I was able to sidestep the issue by installing libssl1.0-dev.

[hsbt]

The old Ruby (< Ruby 2.4) didn't support openssl 1.1. Please do install libssl1.0 and libssl1.0-dev or upgrade your ruby version that was the latest version like 2.5.
