Image not found for patron gem when running rails

Question

I'm getting the following error when trying to run some rails commands in my app.

I upgraded ruby 2.6.6 to 2.7.3 (I use rbenv) and bundle from 2.0.2 to 2.1.4, by doing

 brew update && brew upgrade ruby-build
 rbenv install 2.7.3
 gem install bundler:2.1.4
 bundle install

And now, when I run any rails command (ex: rails c) I get this error:

What I've tried:

1. This answer.
2. Re-install rbenv
3. Manually uninstalling and installing patron gem with gem uninstall patron && gem install patron
4. Re-install openssl with brew reinstall openssl@1.1

When I manually remove the patron gem from Gemfile and Gemfile.lock everything works fine, but I need the patron gem.

As last measure I've left to try to remove rbenv and use RVM: Ruby Version Manager, instead, but I want to avoid this and keep using rbenv

Answer 1

Next things I would try:

• Running bundle exec rails c instead.
• Check what which openssl returns, that may indicate that you have different versions installed (mine shows /usr/bin/openssl)
• Make sure you are doing all operations from the repository directory.
