Which version of OpenSSL?
Something like this might work - #4819 (comment)

For Ruby 3.x these three issues help:
#5376
#5287
#5285

For 2.x and below... not so lucky

xcode-select --install
brew install openssl@1.1
rvm install 3.2.2 --with-openssl-dir=$(brew --prefix openssl@1.1)
rvm install 2.7.7 --with-openssl-dir=$(brew --prefix openssl@1.1)

These both worked ok for me on a Intel Mac with Sonoma
You can use --trace to see the full log or switch to the ~/.rvm/logs folder to see the logs.

Good grief. I was getting a malloc crash in the Rails console, and figured something had changed in my system, and my Ruby needed to be recompiled. I updated Xcode, then blew 3.2.2 away. Then I discovered it wouldn't recompile because of the still-ongoing Homebrew SSL version nonsense, and remembered that I had installed this version because it was pre-compiled with SSL 3. Now it seems that all the precompiled versions were deleted from RVM's folder structure in February of 2023, and I was stuck.

So I went through the entire rigamarole of installing rbenv and then finding it had the SAME crashing problem! Then I discovered this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77653717/how-to-solve-double-free-for-ptr-0x7f7c33808200-in-ruby-on-rails, which fixed the console crash problem. But then I was still stuck with rbenv, and I don't want to switch everything over on all my machines.

So I kept searching, and finally found this note, which worked to get 3.2.2 compiled with rvm again. I've deleted rbenv, and everything seems to be working. I can compile Rubies with rvm using this compile flag trick, and I can connect to my production database with the console by using the Homebrew SSL trick above. Ruby is built with SSL 1, and apparently the pg gem is using the "system" Homebrew SSL 3 to connect to the database in the console.

I'll be glad when everything is finally on SSL 3, and our build environments start working flawlessly again. Of course, then it will just be something else. ;-)

Thank You

worked for me, thanks

I saw a similar error message, and resolved it by specifying the architecture for an M1 Mac: arch -arm64 rvm install 3.2.2

Any resourse for ubuntu 22.04 facing the same problem ?

[LE-HU]

the only version I've managed it to work:
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(brew --prefix openssl@1.1)/lib/pkgconfig rvm install 3.0.1
note for newer versions of ruby you'd need openssl@3
