OpenSSL error installing ruby 2.0.0-p195 on Mac with rbenv

Question

I\'m trying to install Ruby 2.0.0-p195 using rbenv on a Mac (Mountain Lion) and got this error.

BUILD FAILED

Answer 1

Try adding OpenSSL to the config options using the --with-openssl-dir option:

$ CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=`brew --prefix openssl`" rbenv install 2.0.0-p195

If you're using Homebrew, you'll need to install OpenSSL before running the above by running:

$ brew install openssl

UPDATE (see @JarkkoLaine 's comment below):

Just for the record, you should not need to use the config opts anymore with ruby-build and homebrew. However, I had to reinstall openssl with homebrew to make it work: brew uninstall openssl; brew upgrade; brew install openssl; rbenv install 2.0.0-p247. See this for more info.
