When running rvm rubygems latest I get the error.

RubyGems 2.0.0 installed
Because I didn't know what I was doing, I think my earlier attempt at installing sass may have caused this. I followed these instructions, thus doing these commands earlier in the day.
$ export GEM_HOME=/home/mygemrepository
$ ruby setup.rb --prefix=/home/mystuff
Again, I don't if that matters as GEM_HOME and GEM_PATH seem correct.
$ echo $GEM_HOME
/Users/sjc/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p0
$ echo $GEM_PATH
/Users/sjc/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p0:/Users/sjc/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p0#global

Answer 1

Looks like you're missing openssl. Checkout: https://rvm.io/packages/openssl/

Answer 2

Examples for ruby 2.3.1, or may be other version of ruby.
Without reinstall rvm:
rvm pkg install openssl
rvm install 2.3.1 --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr
Or with reinstall rvm:
rvm implode
\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash
rvm pkg install openssl
rvm install 2.3.1 --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr
Or with custom rubygems for ruby < 2.3:
rvm pkg install openssl
rvm install 2.2.2 --rubygems 2.7.10 --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr
PS: after all may be reinstall all ruby versions
rvm reinstall all --force

Answer 3

Another possible issue is if your default version of Ruby is old.
Most OS come preinstalled with Ruby, but use an older versions of Ruby (1.8.x), rather than 2.x or even 1.9.x and that may cause the new version of rvm to fail.
$ rvm list
to see the list of ruby versions install, and use ("ruby use uby-1.9.3-p429" equivalent ) to set that and then try :
$ rvm get stable
(get the most recent bugfixes and ruby version updates )
$ rvm rubygems latest
I also changed the default ruby :
$ rvm --default use 1.9.2
worked for me!
