Same thing here. I had to switch to the fedora ruby distribution for a moment.

[pmk1c]

Having the same problem. Downgrading to gcc-6 and using compat-openssl10-devel worked for me:

dnf downgrade gcc --releasever=25
dnf install compat-openssl10-devel --allowerasing

Not the best way, since you need to versionlock gcc (and don't upgrade via PackageKit / Gnome Software), but it works for now.

[hsbt]

It seems a problem of gcc-7. I'm going to investigate this.

[pmk1c]

There is a patch for this, that got backported to Ruby 2.4.x. But it didn't get backported to 2.3.x., yet: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/13150

I tried to use it for 2.3.x, but it doesn't help. Probably more things to change here.

[hsbt]

I created a patch for gcc-7 on fedora26 environment and requested to backport it patch to ruby_2_3 branch.

https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/attachments/6655/ruby_2_3_gcc7.patch

We will fix this issue on next stable release that is Ruby 2.3.5.

[pmk1c]

rbenv install -p 2.3.1 < <(curl -sSL https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/attachments/download/6655/ruby_2_3_gcc7.patch)

Seems to work for me. Thanks!

[hsbt]

@AnwarShah I'm not rvm maintainer. You should ask rvm maintainer about rvm on rvm repository.

[hsbt]

Ruby 2.3.5 was released.

[lzap]

I can confirm the problem was fixed, but still does not compile on Fedora 26 due to some X509/ASN library incompatibility :-(

[mbevc1]

I think it's incompatible with OpenSSL 1.1

[p-salido]

@lzap see #1111

[mbevc1]

Yeah, that's true but installing openssl-devel-1.0 package is incompatible with 1.1 on Fedora and that is a dep to other packages as well....

[jarongao]

I managed to install 2.3.1 and 2.3.5 a few minutes ago by forcing install of compat-openssl10-devel on Fedora 27. The only conflicting package was openssl-devel.

sudo dnf install compat-openssl10-devel --allowerasing

Afterwards, 2.3.5 installs just fine, as it was patched for gcc 7

rbenv install 2.3.5

while 2.3.1 installed with the gcc patch reference command suggested by @pmk1c

rbenv install -p 2.3.1 < <(curl -sSL https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/attachments/download/6655/ruby_2_3_gcc7.patch)

Finally, I replaced compat-openssl10-devel with the latest openssl-devel again:

sudo dnf install openssl-devel --allowerasing

@mbevc1 Before this, I spent a couple hours trying to downgrade openssl and its many dependencies. Didn't get anywhere with that. Would not recommend.

[mbevc1]

Cool, after replacing back to OpenSSL 1.1 does Ruby work as expected - are libraries statically linked there?

[jarongao]

It's been fine so far running a large Rails 4 app.

[mbevc1]

Yeah, looks good on F27 here as well 👍 . Thanks @jarongao !

[tiwillia]

For those still needing to install ruby 2.3.1-2.3.4 on Fedora-34, @jarongao's instructions still work but the compat-openssl10-devel is no longer provided: https://fedora.pkgs.org/33/fedora-x86_64/compat-openssl10-devel-1.0.2o-11.fc33.x86_64.rpm.html

You can still install the compatibility package and (at least in my experience) install ruby 2.3.1 successfully by appending the "releasever=33" option:

$ sudo dnf install compat-openssl10-devel --allowerasing --releasever=33
