Could you show us exact step to reproduce the problem, with all input
and errors? In addition, do you set any environment variables
e.g. RUBYOPT or RUBYPATH?

I’ve already installed everything that looks likely, the next step
would be to try to install every package with ‘ssl’ in the name.

BTW, looks like other people have had this issue with no resolution
either:

Also, I tried this after uninstalling the ruby that came with Ubuntu.
Didn’t help. I also reinstalled the Ubuntu built-in ruby ssl package.
Didn’t help.

Did you install libssl-dev?

Most of the time that errors like that occur on Ubuntu they are due to
the dev packages not being installed…
