Trying to install Ruby 1.8.7-p249 on Ubuntu 16 results in an SSL error

There's a lot of questions regarding this on Stackoverflow, but the answers appear to be out of date or not applicable to my situation.

I've followed the instructions in this answer - https://stackoverflow.com/a/9440944/1446264

And after running

rvm pkg install openssl
rvm install ruby-1.8.7-p249 --with-openssl-dir=/usr/share/rvm/usr

I'm still left with the following error on the server.

make[1]: *** [ossl.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/share/rvm/src/ruby-1.8.7-
p249/ext/openssl'
make: *** [all] Error 1`

I think the reason must be because the version of openssl installed after running rvm pkg install openssl is too new.

openssl version gives me 1.0.1f

and

rvm pkg install openssl installed openssl-1.0.1i

On my development machine, I'm running openssl-0.9.8zh without any issues, so ideally I'd like to be able to use this version of openssl.

Is there any way of specifying a version number when running rvm pkg install openssl? so I could do something like rvm pkg install openssl -v 0.9.8zh. I've not come across any such syntax.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can resolve this? I've been battling for hours. I've tried installing Ruby from source as well as with RVM and Rbenv but the openssl issue persists.
