Question

Getting few errors while installing ruby-2.1.2 using rvm. I am new to ruby and hence need assistance. Please let me know

Installation log and other relevant information here: log

From the log provided in problem description, I have ruby 2.1.2 installed in the system. However, getting error when tried listing gems with gem list due to installation errors.After changing to 2.1.2 i.e., rvm use 2.1.2 and executing ruby -r openssl -e 'puts OpensSSL::OPENSSL_VERSION' gives this error:

/Users/praveenk.k/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.2/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in require': cannot load such file -- openssl (LoadError) from /Users/praveenk.k/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.2/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in require'
