Cannot build rubies 2.6.x, 2.7.x and 3.0.x on Ubuntu 22.04 because they relies on openssl1.1 and Ubuntu now provides openssl3

Description

Cannot build rubies 2.6.x and 2.7.x on Ubuntu 22.04 because they relies on openssl1.1 and Ubuntu 22.04 now provides openssl3.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install rvm on Ubuntu 22.04.
2. Try install a ruby, like rvm install 2.7.6.

Expected behavior

It compiles and install.

Actual behavior

It fails during install with cannot load such file -- openssl (LoadError):

*** Following extensions are not compiled:
openssl:
	Could not be configured. It will not be installed.
	Check ext/openssl/mkmf.log for more details.
*** Fix the problems, then remove these directories and try again if you want.

I'd suggest we fix this by bumping the default gem for openssl to version 3 when Ruby 2.6-2.7 are installed on Ubuntu 22.04+. See https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18658

[havenwood]

MacPorts and Homebrew also encounter this issue.

[pkuczynski]

PR is welcome!

[reckerswartz]

for short term use:

rvm pkg install openssl

next

rvm install ruby-2.7.x --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr

[SCV-MatiasFazzolari]

IDK if it may be useful but, in Ubuntu 22.04, the rvm pkg workaround and ruby 3.0.x installation ran successfully, but gems like pg shoots segmentation faults and basically the installation is useless (if you need that gem).

In order to test, I removed completely rvm and reinstalled (to ensure it were fresh install). ruby version 3.1.2 worked correctly with no special workarounds and segmentation fault has gone.

[andylamp]

I concur - this is an LTS release also, so more people will encounter this as they are prompted to upgrade to it!

[raelgc]

@SCV-MatiasFazzolari Ruby 3.0 is also suffering from the same issue. Ruby 3.1 is properly requiring openssl 3, which is included on Ubuntu 22.04.

right, rvm however does not have any available rubies for 3.1 branch, in my installation it lists the following:
