The Ruby openssl extension was not compiled. Missing the OpenSSL lib? #377

nathany · 2013-06-28T17:03:01Z

rbenv install 2.0.0-p247 fails on Mac OS X 10.8.4 with the error:

The Ruby openssl extension was not compiled. Missing the OpenSSL lib?

I had no problem installing 1.9.3-p448.

Using ruby-build 20130628 via Homebrew.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

kelan · 2013-06-29T21:07:47Z

@nathany I had this issue too, but it's working for me now. There were 2 things I did to try to fix it:

Update to the latest ruby-build. But, it looks like you already have that.
Install the rbenv ruby-build plugin into ~/.rbenv/plugins/. Curiously,I didn't have it in that plugin dir before, but still had the rbenv install command available. Maybe rbenv has some built-in install command that's older than the latest plugin, or maybe I had previously installed something somewhere else that it was picking up -- I'm not sure. Either way, getting the latest version of the plugin in that directory seemed to help.

nathany · 2013-06-29T22:26:34Z

@kelan That's odd. I don't have a ~/.rbenv/plugins/ at all, as I installed/updated both rbenv/ruby-build via Homebrew.

kelan · 2013-06-29T22:29:27Z

@nathany That's my point. It didn't work when I didn't have the plugin installed, but did after I installed it (as suggested on the ruby-build plugin page) by doing:

$ git clone https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build.git ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build

So, try that and see if it helps.

nathany · 2013-06-29T22:35:33Z

@kelan Thanks for the tip. Since I'm not needing Ruby 2.0 for a few days, I'm going to wait-and-see if the Installing with Homebrew option is made to work. If not, then I'll try the method you described.

joevandyk · 2013-07-01T17:19:05Z

Very weird. The above (running ruby-build directly) failed, but this works: rbenv install 2.0.0-p195

kelan · 2013-07-01T20:17:54Z

@joevandyk Yeah, I wouldn't image that rbenv plugin would affect calling ruby-build directly. When I said "it worked for me", I mean using rbenv install XXX, which also worked for you. So that's good.

That said, I'm not sure why ruby-build directly doesn't work directly. Looks like it's an openssl dependency issue, which maybe the rbenv plugin takes care of for you?

joevandyk · 2013-07-01T20:21:14Z

My guess is that rbenv install XXX sets up the environment/paths differently (and correctly) than calling ruby-build directly when installing openssl.

perfectionist · 2013-07-03T03:25:43Z

I just updated ruby-build again and tried rbenv install 2.0.0-p247 and still got error on SSL. I have already installed several other versions of ruby without error:

nathany · 2013-07-04T16:43:23Z

@perfectionist Same experience here. Did you use homebrew to install both rbenv and ruby-build?

perfectionist · 2013-07-04T16:51:47Z

I did not use homebrew at all. I had installed it once but was having issues so I uninstalled it several months ago. That was no easy task.

I am wondering if the file ~/.rbenv/plugins/ruby-build/share/ruby-build/2.0.0-p247 should have a different version of openssl.

perfectionist · 2013-07-04T17:11:41Z

To install rbenv and ruby-install I used git.

nathany · 2013-07-04T17:37:04Z

Good question. p247 appears to use the same version as p195, and the later installs fine.

danielb2 · 2013-07-05T21:20:29Z

Trying rbenv for the first time. Running into the same problem with openssl missing.

I tried rbenv install ruby-2.0.0-p247 and received the The Ruby openssl extension was not compiled. Missing the OpenSSL lib? message.

openssl was already on the system with macports. I also installed it with homebrew. No avail.

CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=brew --prefix openssl" rbenv install 2.0.0-p247 did not solve the problem.

However, CFLAGS='-g -O2' RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-openssl-dir=brew --prefix opensslrbenv install 2.0.0-p247

did solve the problem.

nathany · 2013-07-14T18:35:54Z

@danielb2 I got the same error with CFLAGS='-g -O2' RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.1e rbenv install 2.0.0-p247

jo-sm · 2013-07-15T18:35:08Z

Copying this from my comment here:

Not sure about the Mac users, but I had this issue on my new Debian virtual machine and was perplexed as to why it was occurring when I had openssl installed. I researched a little bit, and eventually wound up with the solution of installing the development ssl library. This is what I did:
# apt-get install libssl-dev
$ rbenv install ruby-2.0.0-p247
Downloading ruby-2.0.0-p247.tar.gz...
-> http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.0/ruby-2.0.0-p247.tar.gz
Installing ruby-2.0.0-p247...
Installed ruby-2.0.0-p247 to /home/joshua/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p247
I assume you can do the same thing with brew but I don't know for sure. Hope this helps!

nathany · 2013-07-16T00:45:23Z

This did the trick (unbelievably, I hadn't installed openssl via brew, though every other version of Ruby installed fine):

brew install openssl
RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.1e rbenv install 2.0.0-p247

MiguelMadero · 2013-07-26T17:17:34Z

Explicitly specifying openssl did the trick for me. Thanks @nathany

cfurrow · 2013-08-01T21:01:31Z

Thanks for this. Was having the same issue, but adding the options to the command worked great. Odd.

scottmagdalein · 2013-08-02T19:43:36Z

Attempting to install Ruby 2.0.0-p247 with rbenv and getting the same issue. I have openssl installed via brew and I'm specifying it in the 'rbenv install' command like @nathany suggests. Still get the same error.

cfurrow · 2013-08-02T20:00:01Z

@scottmagdalein I haven't tried p247 yet, I was installing p195 at the time. Does that work for you?

MiguelMadero · 2013-08-02T20:46:00Z

it worked for me for 247

mjstrasser · 2013-08-07T01:41:07Z

I am having the same problem on OS X 10.7.5. I installed rbenv, ruby-build and openssl using Homebrew and removed (hopefully) all vestiges of rvm and MacPorts. I have set the environment variable RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.1e and got the following outcomes:

rbenv install 1.9.3-p448 succeeds
rbenv install 2.0.0-p247 fails with the Missing the OpenSSL lib? error message
rbenv install 2.0.0-p195 fails with the Missing the OpenSSL lib? error message

mjstrasser · 2013-08-07T11:30:22Z

I have now succeeded in installing Ruby 2.0.0-p247 on OS X using rbenv install (i.e. ruby-build).

I found references to a library under /Users/mike/.rvm. The reference was in the file /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.1e/include/openssl/opensslconf.h so I must have installed this version using Homebrew before deleting RVM (or something). So I uninstalled and reinstalled OpenSSL via Homebrew:

brew uninstall openssl
brew install openssl

After that, rbenv install 2.0.0-p247 succeeded. There was no need to set RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS in the environment. I think ruby-build checks for the Homebrew version on OS X and sets the option for you.

scottmagdalein · 2013-08-08T12:58:27Z

Thanks for commenting here and reminding me that I need to update as well.

I got Ruby 2.0.0-p247 installed, finally, after brew uninstall openssl and then brew install openssl to clean and reinstall it. Apparently, when I ran brew install openssl the first time when I started the 2.0 install process with rbenv, it didn't get done right even though brew was telling me it was up to date (1.0.1e).

runk · 2013-08-12T00:03:04Z

for CentOS 6.4; if you've installed the openssl-1.0.1e.el6_5 rpm, ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.centos.org/6.5/updates/x86_64/Packages/openssl-1.0.1e-16.el6_5.4.0.1.centos.x86_64.rpm. I had to install this package due to a dependency from another project I'm working on. When Ruby; or ruby-build/install would attempt to resolve the openssl-devel by yum installing it; it would error. You will need the openssl-devel package as well.
sudo yum install -y ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.centos.org/6.5/updates/x86_64/Packages/openssl-devel-1.0.1e-16.el6_5.4.0.1.centos.x86_64.rpm

Once I was able to get the correct devel package installed; @CoreyCole's directions worked just fine!

florianb · 2015-01-26T12:03:03Z

@mislav I'd like to suggest a check based upon ldconfig -p | grep libssl as it is mentioned on this serverfault post.

If appreciated i'd like trying to create a pull-request for that issue.

I'm sorry to say this but on macOS 10.12 with latest ruby-build this is still an issue. I brew installed openssl and I still have a hell of a time in making it play nice with rbenv install.

It's really unfortunate but this:

CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=`brew --prefix openssl`"

... worked ...

when I installed rbenv through brew, I got this message

This formula is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because Apple has deprecated use of OpenSSL in favor of its own TLS and crypto libraries.

If you need to have this software first in your PATH run:
  echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile

For compilers to find this software you may need to set:
    LDFLAGS:  -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
    CPPFLAGS: -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include

have you tried adding these flags to rbenv install?

First, thank you so much. I failed at the beginning because I copied the commands above guys' . You help me out of the trouble.

Here the exactly what we should do:

# look into your real openssl version, as for me is `1.0.2s`
ls /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/
# then to confirm the ruby version you need, as for me is `2.3.3`
# implement the command

I was having this issue with OSX 10.15.3. The version of openssl that homebrew installed was 1.1 and I was trying to install ruby 2.3.8, which did not work.

I eventually got it to work using openssl version 1.0.2.
