can't install rails on new mint os load error openssl

September 3rd Updated 

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

libssl-dev already the newest version.

but still getting the same error. 

 root@Lintong:~# gem install rails
    ERROR:  Loading command: install (LoadError)
        cannot load such file -- openssl
    ERROR:  While executing gem ... (NoMethodError)
        undefined method `invoke_with_build_args' for nil:NilClass

I installed ruby by compiling I did not use rvm. I asked how to install ruby on mint without using rvm here

installed ruby using apt-get install ruby 2.0.0 succeeded but not using correct ruby version

now when I do gem install rails I got the above error, what dependencies am I missing? I don't usually use linux for development. I am doing this for the first time because I am deploying to a vps (digital ocean)

I think you're missing the libssl-dev package. Try installing that package and recompiling Ruby. You may be missing other packages as well.
