Gem install producing “OpenSSL” error












3















For at least a week now i have been trying to install Bettercap on my Raspberry PI using gem but whenever i type in:



sudo gem install bettercap


i receive an error message that says



 ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::Exception)
Unable to require openssl, install OpenSSL and rebuild ruby (preferred) or use non-HTTPS sources


Every fix that has been suggested to other people yields no results:



Option 1: "http option"



According to the answer by Filippo De Bortoli in this thread on the same issue, disabling the https protocol will solve it. However after running these commands:



gem source -r https://rubygems.org/ 
gem source -a http://rubygems.org/


I still get this error:



ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::Exception)
Unable to require openssl, install OpenSSL and rebuild ruby (preferred) or use non-HTTPS sources


Option 2: rebuild



As suggested by Filippo De Bortoli in the same thread he reinstalled ruby after installing OpenSSL, however my raspbian came with OpenSSL and running sudo apt-get install openssl only confirms i have the latest version. I have also re-built ruby 3 times since i started getting this.



Option 3: install locally



After finding out that you could install the gems locally i installed the source and ran.



sudo gem install --local bettercap-1.6.2b.gem


and got the output:



ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'em-proxy' (>= 0.1.8, ~> 0.1) in any repository


I am guessing since it is only searching the local disk it can not find the dependencies it needs, so i decided to locally install "em-proxy" only to find it needed dependencies, which also needed dependencies. Great. So i decided to leave it for the sake of my sanity and it was overall impractical.





To wrap up, how do i get rid of this error or at the very least bypass it?



Just in case you wanted to know here is the output of gem -v:



2.4.5


and the output of ruby -v:



ruby 2.2.2p95 (2015-04-13 revision 50295) [armv6l-linux-eabihf]


Hope this helps.
Thank you for sitting through my rant i just hope to get this fixed.

          Was struggling with this as well when compiling ruby 2.3.6 from source on Debian/Ubuntu. Solved it by install pkg-config additionally to libssl-dev, e.g. the full instructions:




          $ sudo apt install
          make
          gcc
          pkg-config
          libssl1.0-dev
          libreadline-dev
          libgdbm-dev
          zlib1g-dev
          libyaml-dev
          libffi-dev
          libgmp-dev
          openssl
          $ ./configure --disable-install-rdoc
          $ make -j2
          $ sudo make install



          Note, that the libssl-dev package is not compatible with ruby2.3 (see: https://github.com/rvm/rvm/issues/3862#issuecomment-277512130) so on Debian/Stretch or Ubuntu/Xenial you need to install libssl1.0-dev instead.
