How do I resolve this error when installing Ruby on a Macbook Pro (Mountain Lion) with RVM?

Question

When I attempt installation using

rvm install 2.2

or

rvm install ruby-2.2.4

I get the following error when I input rvm use 2.2 or rvm use 2.2.4:

ruby-2.2.4 is not installed.

Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time. 
No binary rubies available for: osx/10.8/x86_64/ruby-2.2.4. Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm help mount' to get more information on binary rubies.

Answer 1

From the unformatted error output it can be seen that rvm cannot install openssl which is a requirement for ruby.

Run this command to install it using brew.

brew install openssl
