Rvm: Error running '__rvm_make -j 1',

[samskinner111]

Description

After having run 'rvm requirements', I am unable to use rvm or do a gem install. The problem appears to be that rvm installed a version of openssl that breaks the usage via homebrew.

Steps to reproduce

1. I am on a MacBook Pro running Sierra (10.12.4). I have Homebrew 1.2.1-175-g98959f1 and RVM 1.29.1.
2. I ran the command "rvm requirements" and it installed a version of openssl. Here is the output:
   ==> Upgrading 1 outdated package, with result:
   [email protected] 1.1.0f
   ==> Upgrading [email protected]
   ==> Downloading https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/[email protected]

Expected behavior

I expected rvm to continue to work properly as well as Homebrew.

Actual behavior

1.) Following the 'rvm requirements' command, I tried to do a gem install ('gem install rspec') and got this error:
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::Exception)
Unable to require openssl, install OpenSSL and rebuild ruby (preferred) or use non-HTTPS
sources

2.) Because it had worked for me in the past, I deleted all versions of openssl:
Cellar swskinner$ rm -rf openssl
Cellar swskinner$ rm -rf openssl1098
Cellar swskinner$ rm -rf [email protected]

3) I then ran "brew install openssl". It installed but I still could not run "gem install rspec".

4.) On StackOverflow, I found the suggestion to run:
"rvm reinstall 2.4.1 --with-openssl-dir=brew --prefix openssl "

This generated the following error:

++ return 2
There has been an error while running make. Halting the installation.

5.) I tried again with this alternative command:
"rvm reinstall 2.4.1 --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/opt/openssl" but I get verbatim the same output error.

6.) For the past six months or so, I have been wrestling with these sorts of errors while trying to use rvm. I get eventually get thing to work, but it seems as if there is something fundamentally incompatible between my install of homebrew and my install of rvm. They fight each other it seems.

7.) Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

@samskinnerphd this helped me to manage to install 2.4.0: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41946652/setup-rvm-ruby-on-mac-os-x-sierra-unable-to-require-openssl/41971211

Since it seems that Ruby >= 2.4 requires [email protected] to compile in OSX, I had to fix the following env variables:

• export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/lib
• export CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/include
• export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/lib/pkgconfig

That, together with enabling rvm autolibs homebrew, let me install Ruby 2.4.0.

I hope it helps.

can someone try it again after:

rvm get master

I got a feeling some of the problems might be addressed already
