‘RSA_SSLV23_PADDING’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘RSA_NO_PADDING’? While compiling ruby-2.7.1 using asdf

Question

I am getting this issue while compiling ruby-2.7.1 using asdf or rvm.

It is even causing issues in erlang installation as well.

Error could be

I tried installing openssl version 1.1 using apt-get but it is not working.

I usually use a solution like this when I encounter openssl issues while compiling Ruby. I prefer not to mess with the OS's installed version if I can help it, and I don't use anything like RVM.

Download the latest version ~1.1 of Open SSL:

wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.1.1q.tar.gz

Extract and configure to install somewhere on your system, then compile and install. In my case it goes in my home dir since I do a lot of Ruby development and ruby is also going in my home dir.

tar xvzf openssl-1.1.1q.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.1.1q
mkdir -p $HOME/lib/openssl
./config --prefix=$HOME/lib/openssl
make
make install

Make sure your openssl folder has the proper certs.

cp /etc/ssl/certs/* $HOME/lib/openssl/ssl/certs

Compile ruby like so. Remember that this is specific for my own home directory, you could just as easily install this as a systemwide ruby.

tar xvzf ruby-2.7.1.tar.gz
cd ruby-2.7.1
./configure --prefix=$HOME/.rubies/ruby-2.7.1 --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/lib/openssl
make
make install

Should be `cp -r /etc/ssl/certs/* $HOME/lib/openssl/ssl/certs`, but great answer! Thanks! — watzon, Mar 20 '23 at 21:45

Openssl recently removed support for RSA_SSLV23_PADDING after CVE-2021-23839

Best option is installing latest version of ruby, which should have support for this, but I had to install this particular version of ruby. So here are the things that helped me.

This answer really helped me. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1126893/how-to-install-openssl-1-1-1-and-libssl-package

And in the last I have to copy this openssl.so.1.1 file (generated after compiling) to lib folder.

sudo cp openssl.so.1.1 /usr/local/lib/

or

sudo cp openssl.so.1.1 /usr/local/lib64/

then export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib64 and sudo ldconfig

Now try to run asdf install ruby-2.7.1

It should be working.

~~Found simple solution here: https://github.com/rvm/rvm/issues/5216#issuecomment-1206488598~~

~~You need to:~~

~~rvm pkg install openssl~~

~~and then run:~~

~~rvm install ruby-2.7.3 --with-openssl-dir=/usr/share/rvm/usr~~

~~Ruby will be compiled using internal rvm openssl in version 1.0.2, so no longer RSA_SSLV23_PADDING error.~~

Soon after posting this answer I found out that there are some issues when using ruby 2.7.x compiled with openssl 1.0.2. I experienced issues with installing/running pq gem due to mismatching openssl versions (this gem uses 1.1.1).

There were not such problems when ruby has been compiled with openssl 1.1.1, so I strongly recommend to look at Jon Jenkins answer.

Good solution! I needed to use `rvm pkg install openssl`. – Fredrick Brennan Nov 16 '22 at 10:58
Should it not be --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr ? – Madhur Ahuja Nov 26 '22 at 18:29

Fresh to ruby, try everything finally solved:

brew uninstall openssl@3 to remove invalid openssl version.
brew install openssl@1.1 to install openssl with 1.1 version.
