Ruby on-RailsRubyRuby on-Rails Problem Overview
I am using osx 10.8.2 installed ruby 2.0 and.... got this when trying to run "sudo gem install rails"
$ sudo gem install rails
ERROR: Loading command: install (LoadError)
cannot load such file -- openssl

I had ruby 1.9.x and rails 3.2.x working alright before

Solution 1 - Ruby on-Rails
You have to install OpenSSL first and recompile ruby again:
RVM:
rvm pkg install openssl
rvm reinstall ruby-2.0.0-p0 --with-gcc=gcc-4.7 --with-openssl-dir=$rvm_path/usr
Solution 2 - Ruby on-Rails
If you're using RVM please follow:
$ brew install automake
$ rvm pkg install openssl
$ rvm requirements run
$ rvm reinstall all --force
$ gem install rails
It worked for me.
Solution 3 - Ruby on-Rails
I had very bad time with this ERROR. Finally i done with it. There is only Once solution either you are with RVM or without RVM.
Make sure you have installed OpenSSL first BEFORE installing ruby.
RVM
-
Uninstall rvm
rvm implode
or
rm -rf ~/.rvm
Don’t forget to remove the script calls in your .bashrc and/or .bash_profile (or whatever shell you’re using). sudo apt-get install zlib1g zlib1g-dev build-essential openssl libssl-dev libmysqlclient18 libmysqlclient-dev libyaml-dev curl git-core python-software-properties libpq-dev nodejs
Then install RVM, post ruby.
OR
rvm pkg install openssl
rvm reinstall ruby-2.0.0-p0 --with-gcc=gcc-4.7 --with-openssl-dir=$rvm_path/usr
WITHOUT RVM
First you should find where Ruby is:
whereis ruby
will list all the places where it exists on your system, then you can remove all them explicitly. Or you can use something like this:
rm -rf /usr/local/lib/ruby
rm -rf /usr/lib/ruby
rm -f /usr/local/bin/ruby
rm -f /usr/bin/ruby
rm -f /usr/local/bin/irb
rm -f /usr/bin/irb
rm -f /usr/local/bin/gem
rm -f /usr/bin/gem
THEN
sudo apt-get install zlib1g zlib1g-dev build-essential openssl libssl-dev libmysqlclient18 libmysqlclient-dev libyaml-dev curl git-core python-software-properties libpq-dev nodejs
apt-get -y update
apt-get -y install build-essential zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libreadline6-dev libyaml-dev
cd /tmp
wget http://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.0/ruby-2.0.0-p247.tar.gz
tar -xvzf ruby-2.0.0-p247.tar.gz
cd ruby-2.0.0-p247/
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install
I hope this help you.
Solution 4 - Ruby on-Rails
I fix this error for ruby 2.1.2 as follow.
rvm pkg install openssl
rvm reinstall ruby-2.1.2 --with-openssl-dir=$rvm_path/usr
Solution 5 - Ruby on-Rails
On OSX, with rbenv and homebrew, the following worked for me:
brew install openssl
CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-openssl-dir=$(brew --prefix openssl) rbenv install whatever-ruby-version
Solution 6 - Ruby on-Rails
This worked for me which is similar to some of the other answers already posted.
rvm pkg install openssl
rvm reinstall all --force
Solution 7 - Ruby on-Rails
When installing ruby 2.0, it is possible that rubygems 2.0 installation did not complete ok, because of openssl. Make sure you provide a valid path to the openssl config file; you could:
find . -type f -name "openssl.cnf"
path is usually $HOME/.rvm/usr or $HOME/.rvm/usr/ssl
Then
[sudo] rvm reinstall ruby-2.0.0-p0 --with-openssl-dir=[openssl.cnf path] --verify-downloads 1
Make sure rubygems installation complete successfully. Might be a better way to fix that path without reinstalling, but this should do it.
Solution 8 - Ruby on-Rails
Make sure to check out this page on the rvm site: https://rvm.io/packages/openssl/
Running
rvm requirements run
gave me:
Missing required packages: autoconf, automake, libtool, pkg-config, apple-gcc42, readline, libxml2, libxslt, libksba, openssl, sqlite
after brew install autoconf automake ...
I was able to rvm reinstall 2.0.0
without openssl errors
Solution 9 - Ruby on-Rails
I had the same problem with the same OS version. I use rvm and followed the steps in this command:
$ rvm requirements
Following those instructions, I ran:
$ brew update
$ brew tap homebrew/dupes
$ brew install bash curl git
$ brew install autoconf automake apple-gcc42 libtool pkg-config openssl readline libyaml sqlite libxml2 libxslt libksba
Solution 10 - Ruby on-Rails
I had the same problem earlier, tried all of the snippets about and none of them worked out. After looking around for a bit the following worked for me:
$ 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
What does rvm get head --autolibs=3
do exactly? I'm guess it automatically downloads dependencies, but I was hoping for a clear answer.
Solution 11 - Ruby on-Rails
I encountered the same openssl error on Fedora when trying to use gem install <package>
. It seems you need to install additional packages with yum/dnf
sudo dnf install rubygems rubygem-bundler ruby-devel mariadb-devel
After running the above command, gem install <package>
should now work.
Solution 12 - Ruby on-Rails
just went through the same problem. Takes a bit time but, upgrading openssl with
brew upgrade openssl@1.1
worked for me. Version might be different in the future, type brew install openssl to see which version you can upgrade to. I hope it helps.
Solution 13 - Ruby on-Rails
If you have libssl1.1, your problem may be that these older versions of ruby (2.4 is the cutoff) are only compatible with libssl1.0.
For debian/ubuntu, please ensure that apt-get install libssl1.0-dev
succeeds.
Solution 14 - Ruby on-Rails
If you are using ruby-install
, it will take the same openssl argument as rvm:
ruby-install ruby-2.0.0-p247 -- --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/opt/openssl
