Can't install on Ubuntu 15.10 — recipe for target 'ossl_ssl.o' failed

[faelsoto]

Hello, I'm trying to install rvm in a brand new Ubuntu installation, but I keep getting this error:

(Full log)

I've searched everywhere, I have two other rvm installations with the same version number, I've tried installing different ruby versions, but nothing is working.

[Kagetsuki]

@faelsoto I was just about to report this. Can you confirm for me if you are compiling with --static? It only fails for me with --static. I checked and a regular static build by hand with flags --disable-shared --enable-static at configure works so I think this is an issue with some extra flags being passed that shouldn't be.

[faelsoto]

@Kagetsuki I'm not compiling with --static, it's a simple rvm install 2.2.3. I just tried with the --disable-shared and --enable-static flags (as in rvm install 2.2.3 -C --disable-shared,--enable-static), but I'm still getting the same error.

[Kagetsuki]

@faelsoto You certainly would get it with those flags - that's the issue we're seeing. A normal install runs fine for us though. What package are you using to provide SSL? Is libssl-dev installed? Did you happen to roll your own SSL?

[faelsoto]

I'm sorry, I'm really not sure about what package I'm using. I just tried to install it as I have done for several years, but this time something's wrong.

I tried a few times yesterday, and somewhere I got to install openssl via RVM. libssl-dev is installed and the latest version, and no, I'm not rolling my own SSL.

Thanks.

[Kagetsuki]

@faelsoto I think our problems are somewhat different then - but they would appear to be related. Let's hope a core RVM maintainer jumps in here.

[panudetjt]

I think i have same issue

Workaround for now:

wget https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/801e1fe46d83c856844ba18ae4751478c59af0d1.diff -O openssl.patch
rvm install --patch ./openssl.patch 2.2.3

[Kagetsuki]

@jhass Above patch does not work for static ruby (checked on two machines, Ubuntu 15.10 x86_64 and Debian x86_64).

Error was the same on both targets:

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

I'm wondering if this has to do with static linking against libruby (libruby-static.a) - as the exact same R_X86_64_32 error is occurring with rice and we were unable to fix it without having a dynamic Ruby. If anyone has more detailed information maybe we should post an issue to Ruby core?

Note: -fPIC did not fix the issue.

[jhass]

@Kagetsuki This isn't about compiling with static though, it's to remedy https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11376, which is necessary because SSLv3 support got disabled in Debian's latest OpenSSL package, which apparently landed in Ubuntu 15.10.

Your issue is something completely else.

[Kagetsuki]

@jhass Roger that - though I think they are somewhat related. Should I put up a separate issue?

[jhass]

I can assure you they're not related.

[julesGoullee]

SSl error is patched, apply it for the moment....
wget https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/801e1fe46d83c856844ba18ae4751478c59af0d1.diff -O openssl.patch
rvm install --patch ./openssl.patch 2.2.3

[CodeKelly]

@julesGoullee It Works,Thank you very much!

[rafamanzo]

After Arch's latest update on openssl package yesterday (6 Mar), this also affects 2.2.3 compilation there (but not 2.3.0).

I can confirm also that the provided patch works there as well.

[mathieujobin]

2.2.4 install fine, 2.2.3 is no big problem, easily replaceable.

what about 2.0.0 ?

[mathieujobin]

woohoo, same patch works for 2.0.0

curl https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/801e1fe46d83c856844ba18ae4751478c59af0d1.diff > openssl.patch
rvm install --patch ./openssl.patch 2.0.0

2.2.4 install fine without patches, no need for 2.2.3
2.1.8 also installs fine without patches, so no need for 2.1.7 anymore

confirmed: 1.9.3 and 2.0.0 successfully installed with this method

[StragaSevera]

Thanks! What about 1.9.3? I really need it...

[mathieujobin]

did you try out the same patch ? if it does not work, I'm afraid it will be complicated
downgrading the ssl package might be easier, I'm not sure where you prefer to spend the time.
upgrading your app to use ruby 2.2 might be better worth it

[StragaSevera]

Alas, app is not "mine" =-(
Nope. Will try to apply it...

[mathieujobin]

works with 1.9.3

[fervisa]

The patch also works on 2.1.7

[v-sh]

And for 2.1.5 works too. Thank you!

[mathieujobin]

the official fix is in 2.2.4 and 2.1.8, if it works with 2.2.3, 2.1.7 and 1.9.3, no need to precise any other versions in between....

now for the annoying part that I just discovered, you will need to reinstalled any patched ruby after an openssl software update. it does not happen so often on a mac, but on linux, we do regular updates. so this is an annoyance. usually servers are kept stable, but this is something to keep in mind anyway. should you upgrade openssl, you need to recompile your old ruby.

on ArchLinux, I've added openssl to the ignore list

$ grep IgnorePkg /etc/pacman.conf 
# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup
IgnorePkg   = postgresql  postgresql-libs lib32-openssl openssl

hope this helps someone
cheers,

[diqidoq]

thanks to havenwood on IRC #rvm for the advice to firstly update to the very latest RVM: rvm get head which helped here on Debian stretch already to get out of the failed installation cycle with rvm and ruby, and what finally results in ruby -v 2.3.0 here, which is is fine for our purposes.

[oliveiraethales]

Patch by @julesGoullee also working on Arch x64 for 2.1.5 (: Thanks bro!

[waseem]

This patch worked for me for 1.9.3-p484. https://gist.github.com/waseem/0e8607e443bcd0b3e60cfad56cd9999b

This is the source of the patch: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=209970 cc: @ought

[webavant]

@julesGoullee's patch builds for 1.9.3-p551, although the final replacement in test/openssl/test_ssl.rb fails, which looks for a match near line 912. My test_ssl.rb is only 499 lines. I may not have followed instructions, so apologies if this is in error.

[cars10]

I do have the same problem on arch, ruby-2.1.1 does not compile.
What i tried

• rvm get head
• rvm install --patch ruby-2.1.1

still getting errors. Any ideas?

[pkuczynski]

This has been fixed in #3748/#3752 and merged to latest master. Please switch and test: rvm get master
