I have tried installing ruby via rvm with numerous attempts. Making sure I remove the previous version before installing a new one: > > rvm install 1.9.2 --with-openssl-dir=/usr > rvm install 1.9.2 --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local > > In a terminal window: ruby -r twitter -e 'puts Twitter.user("sferik").location' works fine. > In Rails console, it still returns the error! Maybe the command line is incorrect. The RVM documentation specify configure options should be passed with -C (http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/rvm/cli/) But the RVM doc about openssl (http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/rvm/cli/) show you can pass it directly. You could try: rvm install 1.9.2 -C --with-openssl-dir=/usr Or maybe, to allow both rvm and ruby configure script to know what you want: rvm install 1.9.2 --with-openssl-dir=/usr -C --with-openssl-dir=/usr
