Same errors with ruby 1.9.3 and openssl 1.0.2.g-3 x86_64

[hsbt]

Unable to install older version than 2.3.4

What's 2.3.4 ? Ruby version? Please show me correct version.

[hsbt]

And 2.0.0 and 1.9.3 is already EOL. It's not support latest version of OpenSSL.

[gerardogc2378]

Ok thanks

I have the same issue install 2.2.3:

This issues does not occur on 2.2.4.

[shioyama]

I'm having the same issue.

@ianks for 2.2.3 the patch in the wiki works for me (on arch linux):

curl -fsSL https://gist.github.com/mislav/055441129184a1512bb5.txt | \
  rbenv install --patch 2.2.3

But I'm trying to build 2.2.0 and while the above patch compiles, it then fails to run with undefined symbol: SSLv2_method...

[mislav]

If anyone knows of a patch that we can apply to avoid SSL forward incompatibilities, please share!

[robjens]

Same issue... putting a grinding halt on stuff as Gemfile https->http doesn't seem to work. Can't install new rubies either.

Ok well I simply cleared the entire rbenv and ruby-build installs and did a full fresh install. Then, for me, the error doesn't show up anymore.

edit: cancel that... it was a 2.3.0 install 2.2.0 does _not_ work

[davelens]

I'm not sure if this is still an issue for people here, but I was able to install both Ruby 1.9.3-p448 and 551 on Arch Linux with the help of an alteration to @mislav's patch in the wiki. It's described in this post.

[hsbt]

@papachan Please try https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build/issues/918#issuecomment-195118848

[flamontagne]

I tried @davelens solution but I think there were some indentation error in the patch file. The following comment automate the whole process: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1672186#p1672186

For convenience I'm recopying the oneliner here:
curl -fsSL https://gist.github.com/FiveYellowMice/c50490693d47577cfe7e6ac9fc3bf6cf.txt | rbenv install --patch 1.9.3-p551
