OpenSSL

Common issues that point to an issue with an MRI Ruby compiling openssl are:

If you have issues with openssl not being available in ruby / irb please try the following configure option:

∴ rvm remove 1.9.1 # This ensures that you will not have any leftovers from the last run
∴ rvm install 1.9.1 -C --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local

Where you replace '/usr/local' with the prefix where your openssl packages are.

If you simply cannot seem to get this to work you can have RVM install a copy of openssl into ~/.rvm/usr like so:

∴ rvm package install openssl
∴ rvm remove 1.9.1
∴ rvm install 1.9.1 -C --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr

If you see readline errors in the make.error.log visit the readline page also.
