Any time I try to run a gem command, my console spits out several SSL errors and fails to execute properly (for instance gem install xxx).

ssl errors:

I even tried upgrading to the latest openssl version in order to fix this problem, but no dice.

brandon@ox:~$ openssl version
OpenSSL 1.1.0c  10 Nov 2016

My ruby correctly points to the right one and I have validated the path:

brandon@ox:~$ which ruby
/home/brandon/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.3.1/bin/ruby
brandon@ox:~$ cd /home/brandon/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.3.1/bin
brandon@ox:~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.3.1/bin$ ls
erb  gem  irb  rake  rdoc  ri  ruby

I've been banging my head on this for the past week, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have successfully run a ruby stack on this OS for several months but had to re-install due to a hard drive failure and I cannot seem to get past this problem.

Is there a way to force rvm to use a different SSL version? It seems like it is pointing to an older version.

Try to reinstall openssl. You should to completely remove the old installation.Run this command:

apt-get autoremove && apt-get autoclean

Then, download and compile:

wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.1.0c.tar.gz

If it still doesn't work, try to reinstall rvm.

rvm implode
gem uninstall rvm

rvm implode will uninstall the rvm/ directory and all the rubies built within it. 

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

Last, reinstall ruby:

rvm install 2.3.1

Hope it helps.
