You could fix it by updating openssl references but an easier way is to update rvm with:

rvm get head

Then run again:

rvm install x.x.x

I had this problem with RVM and Ruby 3.3.0 too. Per a blog post called OpenSSL error installing Ruby 3.3.0 the answer was:

brew install openssl@3
rvm install 3.3.0 --with-openssl-dir=$(brew --prefix openssl@3)

I had the same error trying to install ruby 3.1.3, I've tried doing "rvm pkg install openssl" as said in other replies but it didnt work.

I only managed to finally install it when I checked the "Run command as a login shell" option on the console's settings. You can find that on the "command" options on profile preferences

Foreword: I encountered this problem while trying to install rvm in WSL2

Onto to the meat now.

You may encounter newer versions of this error marked by a different end switch. I mean, instead of the last switch being strictly -j2, yours might be -j3, j4, j5, or other subsequent ones. Therefore proceed to read below for a possible solution.

Shortly, I suggest two commands to resolve this error. Please do not run the installation suggestion that may appear immediately after running the first command. Instead, just proceed to run the second command.

On pasting the second command, replace <version> portion with the appropriate ruby version you would like to install. In my case, I wanted to install ruby version 2.7.4, and therefore, I set it as ruby-2.7.4

rvm pkg install openssl
rvm install ruby-<version> --with-openssl-dir=/usr/share/rvm/usr

However, if the above fix fails to remedy the ruby installation problem, you can ensure that rvm is added to the user group by running the command below:

rvm group add rvm $USER

After running the command above, close the Ubuntu app and reopen it. Then proceed to run the command below:

rvm fix-permissions

Now try reinstalling ruby with the command rvm install 2.7.4 --default. If problems persist, run sudo usermod -a -G rvm $USER and attempt a reinstall. If that fails, only further research gives you a chance.

PS:

Please note that I was making this installation in Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) Ubuntu Therefore, if this problem persists in another system like macOS, it may mean that this solution is perhaps not platform agnostic, and thus, the specific solution for such requires further digging.

After struggling a lot. This worked for me

rvm pkg install openssl
rvm remove x.x.x
rvm install x.x.x -C --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr

Had a similar error "Error running '__rvm_make -j10'" and solved with --with-out-ext=fiddle flag.

rvm install "ruby-2.7.0" --with-out-ext=fiddle

This on M1

I ran into a similar problem - Error running "__rvm_make -j4". The bug was the lack of support for OpenSSL 3.0 when used on Ubuntu 22.04. You can try using "rbenv" instead of "rvm", it worked for me.
