Based on this rbenv discussion, I was able to work around this by uninstalling, reinstalling, and force-linking Homebrew OpenSSL:

brew uninstall --force openssl
brew install openssl
brew link --overwrite openssl --force
rvm install 2.3.0

I'd feel better if I knew what side effects the brew link might have, but it worked.

It worked for me:

Restart osx, then

brew uninstall openssl
brew unlink openssl098
brew install openssl
brew link --overwrite --force openssl
rvm install 2.3.0 # (or rvm install 2.3.1)

Based on https://github.com/rvm/rvm/issues/3656

  • Help, me again. NOTE: You can ignore warning (brew link --overwrite --force openssl): Warning: Refusing to link: openssl Linking keg-only openssl means you may end up linking against the insecure, deprecated system OpenSSL while using the headers from Homebrew's openssl. Instead, pass the full include/library paths to your compiler e.g.: -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib – blackchestnut Jan 08 '17 at 08:48

Still getting the same error after running the lines mentionned, Finally I solved my problem by updating hombrew, then uninstall and install openssl, then rvm install ruby 2.3 again

There are issues installing ruby <=2.3.0 compatibility with Openssl@1.1.

This worked for me

rvm install 2.3.0 --with-openssl-lib=/opt/local/lib/openssl --with-openssl-include=/opt/local/include/openssl

OpenSSL 1.1 isn’t compatible with Ruby 2.3.x checkout this issue here

I solved the issue on mac by using following command.

rvm reinstall ruby-2.3.8 --with-openssl-dir=`brew --prefix openssl@1.0` --debug

If you want more insights on the issue you can refer to this article https://mentalized.net/journal/2019/09/13/ruby-2-3-rvm-and-openssl-1-0/
