Gem Installation SSL Error on Mac OS X

Ruby
1

Greetings.

I’m attempting to install Compass on my Mac, but I’m running into a
strange SSL error:

$ sudo gem install compass
ERROR: While executing gem … (OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError)
SSL_connect SYSCALL returned=5 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server hello
A

This doesn’t work, either:

$ sudo gem install compass -r --source http://rubygems.org/
ERROR: While executing gem … (OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError)
SSL_connect SYSCALL returned=5 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server hello
A

Tried updating the gem system:

gem update --system --source http://rubygems.org/
Updating rubygems-update
ERROR: While executing gem … (OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError)
SSL_connect SYSCALL returned=5 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server hello
A

I’m running OS X 10.9.2 with OpenSSL 0.9.8y. I’d much appreciate any
help you could offer.
