Ruby-build: Fail to download ruby

[edap]

I am trying to rebuild ruby with a new openssl version. The previous one was from 2012, this one from 2017. I am on Ubuntu

openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.2l  25 May 2017

ruby-build 2.4.1 ~/.rbenv/versions/2.4.1 --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local
Downloading ruby-2.4.1.tar.bz2...
-> https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.4/ruby-2.4.1.tar.bz2
error: failed to download ruby-2.4.1.tar.bz2

BUILD FAILED (Ubuntu 13.04 using ruby-build 20180822)

If i run wget, it looks like it works:

wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.2l.tar.gz

but if I try to download the ruby version specified, I obtain an error:

wget https://rubygems.org/rubygems/rubygems-2.7.7.tgz
Resolving rubygems.org (rubygems.org)... 151.101.192.70, 151.101.64.70, 151.101.0.70, ...

OpenSSL: error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version
Unable to establish SSL connection.

Any idea?

Problem solved. My wget version was simply too old.

Thank you for posting the solution. I've spent the last 20 minutes looking for the answer to this issue.

I was having the same issue but on Mac OSX 10.14.1 (Mojave) and I ran ruby-install instead of ruby-build. The error was:

Connecting to cache.ruby-lang.org|151.101.197.178|:443... connected.
OpenSSL: error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version
Unable to establish SSL connection.
!!! Download of https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.5/ruby-2.5.3.tar.bz2 failed!

Upgrading wget (brew upgrade wget) fixed it.

Yep me too. Cheers @edap and thanks @BMorearty for providing the google keywords I needed. 😆
