Answer 1

Based on your PATH , it looks like you're trying to build Ruby 2.3.x with OpenSSL 1.1, which is not compatible with Rubies < 2.4.x. I suspect that RVM would be happy to build the latest Ruby version, though you should confirm this given the title says "any" Ruby version. If there's an issue with that, then check the logs and see if the failure is similar or for a different reason.

I'd suggest getting the latest Ruby to build as a way to rule out other factors, then deal with the SSL version problem for your 2.3 install.

See Installing ruby-2.1.2: Cannot load such file -- openssl (LoadError) among other recent questions about Ruby and OpenSSL 1.1

Answer 2

Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue:

Stpe-1: Uninstall RVM and all its components:

rvm implode

Stpe-2: Clean up your system of any RVM-related files:

rm -rf ~/.rvm

Stpe-3: Reinstall RVM:

\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

Stpe-4: Load RVM into your shell session:

source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm

Stpe-5: Install the desired version of Ruby using RVM:

rvm install ruby-version
