1.8.7-p374 Error running '__rvm_make -j4'

[istiaqiut]

I can not install ree-1.8.7-2012.02 on ubuntu 16.04.
I am getting the following error

Error running '__rvm_make -j4'

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

To proceed rvm requires a ruby-1.8.7-p374 compatible ruby is installed.
We attempted to install it automatically but it failed with status 2.
Please install it manually (or a compatible alternative) to proceed.

By any chance do you have openssl compiled yourself instead of coming from the system?

[istiaqiut]

Yes. The same kind of problem was showing. After that, I removed openssl and installed a new one.
Other ruby versions are installed successfully e.g. 2.5.0, 2.4.3, 2.3.6.
