I'm trying to install older versions of Ruby because I need an older version of JSON because I need to use an older version of the Chef command line tool, knife.

[hsbt]

I'm not familiar ManjaroLinux. Can you show the full log of failing case?

[smarquez1]

Manjaro is based on Arch Linux. You need to apply the openssl patch:

curl -fsSL https://gist.github.com/mislav/055441129184a1512bb5.txt > ruby2.x-openssl.patch

CC="gcc-5" PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/openssl-1.0/pkgconfig rbenv install --patch 2.2.2 < ruby2.x-openssl.patch

You will need the following dependencies:

sudo pacman -S gcc5 openssl-1.0

EDIT: Formatted instructions

Same issue here. rbenv install 2.3.5 fails on Arch Linux with the latest rbenv release (2017-09-14).
@hsbt I have attached the full log of the failing compilation. Hope it helps with analysis!

[smarquez1]

I just installed ruby 2.1.10 on Arch using openssl 1.0 to compile, running this command:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/openssl-1.0/pkgconfig \
CFLAGS+=" -I/usr/include/openssl-1.0" \
LDFLAGS+=" -L/usr/lib/openssl-1.0 -lssl" \
rbenv install 2.3.5

Make sure you have openssl-1.0 installed running: pacman -S openssl-1.0

@smarquez1 Thanks, this works for me!

@hsbt In which directories does rbenv look for the OpenSSL library by default?
Are /usr/lib and /usr/include not among those default places?

[Willibaur]

Thanks @smarquez1 your solution worked for me, hours trying to fix this issue.
I used this solution on Arch Linux and with ruby-install

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/openssl-1.0/pkgconfig \
CFLAGS+=" -I/usr/include/openssl-1.0" \
LDFLAGS+=" -L/usr/lib/openssl-1.0 -lssl" \
ruby-install ruby 2.3.5

[mrvijaycode]

I have tried this and then it threw 'usr/lib/openssl-1.0': Permission denied.

Please help me
