installing ruby 1.9.3-p194 using rbenv on centos 6.7

  • 772

I'm moving a Ruby/Rails app to a Centos 6.7 server (from Ubuntu) and am installing ruby via rbenv.

I run rbenv install -v 1.9.3-p194 and it will start to compile but the build fails. The build output log gives the following output showing a failed build.

ossl_pkey_ec.c:816: error: ‘EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m’ undeclared (first use in this function)
ossl_pkey_ec.c:816: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
ossl_pkey_ec.c:816: error: for each function it appears in.)
make[2]: *** [ossl_pkey_ec.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [ext/openssl/all] Error 2

I have all of the development tools installed on the box and also have openssl-devel installed and it matches the Centos version. But I'm sort of hitting a wall here.

Has anyone had problems with this before and if so, how can I fix it? Full output in pastebin here

  1. Apparently this is a known issue with the openssl headers and certain operating systems. I ran the following command for a successful build merging a patch in.

    curl -fsSL "https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/0d58bb55985e787364b0235e5e69278d0f0ad4b0.patch" | filterdiff -x a/ChangeLog | rbenv install --patch -v 1.9.3-p194
