Can't install gems in ruby-head / 2.0.0-preview1 when using https://rubygems.org source

[jfirebaugh]

I have the following in my .gemrc, as IMO everybody should for security reasons:

:sources:
  - https://rubygems.org

I find I can't install any gems into a fresh ruby-head or 2.0.0-preview1 install:

$ gem install bundler

Is openssl not bundled with these rubies? Can it be?

[jfirebaugh]

From rbenv/ruby-build#197 I learned that Ruby 2 is incompatible with the version of OpenSSL bundled with MacOS, so it doesn't compile the extension.

I got things working with homebrew openssl using:

rvm reinstall --disable-binary ruby-2.0.0-preview1 --with-openssl-dir=`brew --prefix openssl`

It would be nice if rvm detected this situation automatically and used the rvm pkg install openssl solution mentioned here.

[jfirebaugh]

The --disable-binary is due to #1286, BTW.

@jfirebaugh your comment also replies to my question here : https://groups.google.com/d/topic/rubyversionmanager/QJpJHscxudI/discussion

[jfirebaugh]

See this gist for an updated incantation:

RVM will now install openssl on OSX for ruby 2.0, in case of brew it can be skipped this way:

rvm install ruby-2.0.0 --skip-openssl --with-opt-dir="`brew --prefix openssl`"

[balexand]

Thanks @jfirebaugh! The Homebrew instructions from your gist worked great.

[tonyarnold]

Does this still work? With Ruby 2.0.0 rc1 I still get the OpenSSL errors with a completely clean install of RVM.

[balexand]

@tonyarnold Have you tried running rvm pkg install openssl then reinstalling Ruby? That worked for me.

[tonyarnold]

@balexand — yes, from a fresh install of RVM, this yields the error seen above (but for Ruby 2.0.0-rc1)

[mpapis]

@tonyarnold please open a new ticket including:

rvm get head
rvm pkg remove
rvm remove 2.0.0
rvm install 2.0.0 --debug
