ruby 2.0 rails gem install error "cannot load such file -- openssl"

I am using osx 10.8.2 installed ruby 2.0 and.... got this when trying to run "sudo gem install rails"

$ sudo gem install rails
ERROR:  Loading command: install (LoadError)
    cannot load such file -- openssl
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (NoMethodError)
    undefined method `invoke_with_build_args' for nil:NilClass

I had ruby 1.9.x and rails 3.2.x working alright before

Solution

  • You have to install OpenSSL first and recompile ruby again:

    RVM:

    rvm pkg install openssl
rvm reinstall ruby-2.0.0-p0 --with-openssl-dir=$rvm_path/usr
