Ruby-build: Ruby 2.3.8 fails

[noraj]

I installed ruby-build as a plugin of rbenv.

$ rbenv install 2.3.8

Same as #1303

Maybe, No.

What's your openssl version? If you use OpenSSL 1.1.x on Archlinux, You need to use Ruby 2.4+ instead of Ruby 2.3.

@hsbt You're right. But that was for a project that was specifically working with 2.3.x. I did the modifications to the project so now it works under 2.6.x.

I managed to make this work by first installing openssl-1.0.2u manually (download and uncompress tarball, then):

./config --prefix=/opt/openssl-1.0 shared
make
sudo make install

Then compiling ruby 2.3.8 against that, using openssl in the above location:

cflags=-I/opt/openssl-1.0/include LDFLAGS='-L/opt/openssl-1.0/lib -Wl,-rpath,/opt/openssl-1.0/lib' rbenv install 2.3.8

The ssl extension now links against the library in /opt/openssl-1.0:

$ ldd ~/.rbenv/versions/2.3.8/lib/ruby/2.3.0/x86_64-linux/openssl.so
    linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff19716000)
    libssl.so.1.0.0 => /opt/openssl-1.0/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0 (0x00007fce42a31000)
    libcrypto.so.1.0.0 => /opt/openssl-1.0/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 (0x00007fce427d4000)
    libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fce4279c000)
    libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fce425aa000)
    libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fce425a4000)

Didn't work for me @ayqazi solution was generating core dump.

I installed openssl-1.0.2.u from https://www.openssl.org/source/old/1.0.2/

./config --prefix=/opt/openssl-1.0 shared
make
sudo make install

And installed ruby 2.3.8 with this alternative command:

CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=/opt/openssl-1.0 --disable-install-rdoc --disable-install-ri --enable-shared" rbenv install 2.3.8 -v
