RVM - Error running '__rvm_make -j8' while running rvm install on Debian 12

[aarcos]

Description

First sorry by my english

When try run "rvm install ruby" my system debian 12 with xfce show this error:

~$ rvm install ruby
ruby-3.0.0 - #removing src/ruby-3.0.0..
Checking requirements for debian.
Requirements installation successful.

Error running '__rvm_make -j8',
please read /home/"user"/.rvm/log/1703800072_ruby-3.0.0/make.log

There has been an error while running make. Halting the installation.

Steps to reproduce

I use this page for installation ruby with rvm on debian

https://linux.how2shout.com/how-to-install-ruby-version-manager-rvm-on-debian-11-bullseye/

Below here paste portion make.log:

compiling openssl_missing.c
compiling ossl.c
compiling objspace.c

But after an analysis:

I hope it helps you to correct the problem
I'm sorry if this is not the right place to put this note, in my favor it is the only site that has a solution for macOS

Same here for ruby 2.7.0 on Mac OS X.

This code below saved my day:

brew install openssl@1.1
brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies openssl@3
rvm install 2.7.0
brew install --ignore-dependencies openssl@3

The "problem" was about openssl.
Maybe you can look for something similar on linux.

Hi Arthur Yess the problem is in rvm program. When run rvm install Ruby does not find openssl directory installation, this generate the error. When add to command rvm install ruby --openssl-dir= The problem was solved. Thanks Arthur Best new year Alejandro El jue, 28 de dic. de 2023 21:46, Arthur Duarte ***@***.***> escribió:

Trying to get any version below ruby 3 to work with rvm on Debian12 / Ubuntu 22 proved very painful for me. The only method that worked for was to install openssl 1.1.1 alongside openssl 3. For the record this is what I did:

wget https://www.openssl.org/source/old/1.1.1/openssl-1.1.1v.tar.gz
tar xf openssl-1.1.1v.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.1.1v
./config --prefix=/usr/local/openssl1.1.1v --openssldir=/usr/local/openssl1.1.1v/etc
make
sudo make install

Now rebuild the rvm ruby, eg:

rvm reinstall 2.7.8 --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/openssl1.1.1v

@brodjustice Ruby versions older than 3.1 do not work with OpenSSL 3. They require OpenSSL 1.1 or lower. This is a common point of confusion, so I wrote this blog post with a handy compatibility chart:

[brodjustice]

@monfresh I think the point is that Linux users were have been used to installing RVM on top of their fresh Linux installation and within minutes are good to go for any Ruby between 1.9 and 3.x. This is no longer the case, RVM is effectively broken. There are many issues that seem to have the missing openssl version as the core problem #5434, #5361 (comment), #5074, etc.

[monfresh]

Ah, yes. I agree. The good news is that there are alternatives available, such as asdf, rbenv, and chruby/ruby-install. Based on my experience on macOS, they are more reliable than rvm.
