Answer 2

For anyone who should ever have this problem on Lion ... it's some Problem with duplicate headers that come from openssl. You can simply install openssl locally and tell rvm to use that local openssl version.

You can compile opnessl by hand with the prefix /usr/local or simply let rvm do the job:

rvm pkg install openssl

And then tell rvm to link against that version during ruby install:

rvm install 1.9.2 --with-openssl-dir=/path/to/your/home/.rvm/usr

In case you already have a local installation replace with:

rvm install 1.9.2 --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local

DO NOT try what can be read often:

rvm install 1.9.2 -C --with-openssl-dir=/path/to/your/home/.rvm/usr

That does not work.
