I have installed Ruby 2.4.1 successfully on my Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop, but failed to build Ruby 2.4.2.

Here are the last lines of error log:

I have the same problem on ubuntu 17.10 for all ruby versions I have tried to install

Re-installing rbenv did not seem to help.

[UPDATE]

I succeeded to install Ruby 2.4.2 on the clean installed Ubuntu 16.04 Desktop.

It seems that something goes wrong on my working Ubuntu 16.04.

I will close this issue after researching just a little bit more.

I have not detected the root cause of the problem, I found a workaround:

Build openssl from the source:

$ cd /tmp
$ curl -LO https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.1.0f.tar.gz
$ tar xvfz openssl-1.1.0f.tar.gz
$ cd openssl-1.1.0f
$ ./config --prefix=/opt/openssl/1.1.0f
$ make
$ sudo make install

Build ruby with CONFIGURE_OPTS environment variable:

$ CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=/opt/openssl/1.1.0f" rbenv install 2.4.2

[UPDATE]

You also need to install cacert.pem in order to make SSL connections:

$ sudo wget -O /opt/openssl/1.1.0f/ssl/cert.pem http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem

I have the same problem. Apt-Get installed versiion on Ubuntu 17.10 is Ruby Build version: 20161225-1
No version of Ruby installs now through rbenv. Error reportd:
BUILD FAILED (Ubuntu 17.10 using ruby-build 20170914-5-gf41e847) .... ends in "segmentation fault, core dumped."
Since rbenv appears to have a gem version of ruby-build (did "gem update" under rbenv do this, because I did not?) I issued "gem uninstall ruby-build) and ran "rbenv install 2.3.1" using the Ubuntu installed version of Ruby-Build, but the same error and version number of Ruby-build appears.

Next step to is to uninstall purge rbenv and to sea if Ubuntu supplied Ruby will be sufficient for my needs.

Purging rbenv and the ~/.rbenv directory and a clean install of rbenv performed.
Running "rbenv install 2.3.1" produced a similar error:

@casperl I think your problem is different from mine.

I don't encounter with any segmentation faults. My problem is related to linker.

According to a bug report, you shoud type:

$ sudo apt-get install gcc-6 g  -6
$ CC=/usr/bin/gcc-6 rbenv install 2.3.1

Upon the release of Ruby 2.5.0, I tried to build on my Ubuntu 16.04. I got following error messages:

As I did for Ruby 2.4.2, after building the openssl from the source, I succeeded to compile ruby with this command:

CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=/opt/openssl/1.1.0f" rbenv install 2.5.0

Did you try to install this (below) list of dependency to your Ubuntu system ?:
sudo apt-get install autoconf bison build-essential libssl-dev libyaml-dev libreadline6-dev zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev libgdbm3 libgdbm-de
For me these stuff have fixed issue.

As far as I know, (and tested) Ruby versions < 2.4 requires libssl1.0, while >2.4 libssl1.1 . The two libssl packages conflict with each other, so you can't have both of them, so I had to juggle the libs in order to install the required ruby version. To make things even funnier (or more complicated), Ruby <2.4 tends to require gcc-6 instead of the current upstream version (which is 7).
So, usually it looks like that:

# for ruby <2.4
apt install libssl1.0-dev
CC=$(which gcc-6) rbenv install `version`

# for ruby >2.4
apt install libssl-dev
rbenv install `version`

Can this issue not be closed, as both the gcc-6 and libssl dependencies for earlier Rubies are documented in the wiki (here and here)?

After installing gcc-6 and libssl1.0-dev I was able to install both pre and post 2.4 Rubies on Ubuntu 18.04 as per the solution offered by @kubakrzempek without a problem. BTW it appears I do have both libssl libraries installed:

$ /sbin/ldconfig -pv|grep libssl
   libssl3.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl3.so
   libssl.so.1.1 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.1
   libssl.so.1.0.0 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0
   libssl.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so

Why should it be closed? What's the point of using a tool that works with all ruby envs if you have to dive into the docs for a compile error? At the very least it should check for these dependencies before building and get them or tell you they are missing so you can install them.

I've installed the ruby 2.6.6 with help of this blog post on how to compile old openssl separately https://deanpcmad.com/2024/installing-older-ruby-versions-on-ubuntu-24-04-and-22-04/ found via reddit. Since it has no comments functionality I'll leave this here.

ISSUE

Even though it rbenv installs, it failed when I used it:

$ ruby -rdigest/sha1 -e ""
Traceback (most recent call last):
	1: from /home/.../.rbenv/versions/2.6.6/lib/ruby/2.6.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:54:in `require'

The ldd hinted that it can't see the libssl.so:

$ ldd /home/.../.rbenv/versions/2.6.6/lib/ruby/2.6.0/x86_64-linux/openssl.so
	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff1b1fb000)

	/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f9a06c75000)

First I tried to reinstall the ruby with LDFLAGS=-L$HOME/_/openssl/installed/lib compilation flag after which the ldd sees everything and ruby does not crash. But then bundle install fails and the curl -Lks 'https://git.io/rg-ssl' | ruby shows all red.

CAUSE

After a while I've found that after I followed that blog post few days ago I've moved the "installed openssl" directory to another place but the library appeared to be more dynamic than I though. It has the path hardcoded all over the place.

SOLUTION

To recompile the openssl after you move it, or move it back, or symlink to old path like I did.
