this suggested doing this:
rvm pkg install openssl
That didn't work.. and it seems this optin is actually outdated. So then followed this, which uses the newer option of 'autolibs', and which had me do this:
rvm get stable
rvm autolibs enable
rvm reinstall all --force
Reinstalling for all versions of ruby seems unnecessary but some of the versions did work. The 2.3 version, however, did not...
After investigating this option more, it seems that what the autolibs option does is it detects what pakage manager you are using (homebrew in the case of mac) and it attempts to install packages (such as open_ssl) in the case that you don't have them installed. Considering that open_ssl was already installed, it seems more obvious why this wouldn't have helped.
This well upvoted suggestion:
rvm reinstall ruby-2.3.0 --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/opt/[email protected]
Didn't work either..
Also attempted this, which recommended adding the bin path of openssl to the PATH variable:
export PATH=$(brew --prefix openssl)/bin:$PATH
echo "export PATH=$(brew --prefix openssl)/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.bash_profile
Also.. didn't work
I tried to modify the previuos command based no what was suggested by this one by tacking /bin at the end:
rvm reinstall ruby-2.3.0 --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin
But no luck.
This suggested installing a different version of ruby gems:
rvm reinstall ruby-2.3.0 --with-openssl-dir=brew --prefix openssl --rubygems 2.6.11
Which worked... but then gem install failed with the same error:
gem install bundle
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::Exception)
Unable to require openssl, install OpenSSL and rebuild ruby (preferred) or use non-HTTPS sources
I also noticed this error about java/homebrew cask, which comes right after output related to openssl:
rvm reinstall ruby-2.3.0 --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin
Warning! PATH is not properly set up, /Users/alex/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.0/bin is not at first place.
Usually this is caused by shell initialization files. Search for PATH=... entries.
You can also re-add RVM to your profile by running: rvm get stable --auto-dotfiles
To fix it temporarily in this shell session run: rvm use ruby-2.3.0
To ignore this error add rvm_silence_path_mismatch_check_flag=1 to your ~/.rvmrc file.

Error: Cask 'java' is unreadable: undefined method `undent' for #<String:0x00007fc84b27a860>
Which may or may not be related. This page recommended updating/upgrading homebrew/homebrew cask:
brew update && brew upgrade && brew cask upgrade
This resulted in the same error. This comment recommended just deleting the java cask directory manually:
rm -r "$(brew --prefix)/Caskroom/java"
This did, in fact, fix the error with homebrew.. but ruby gems for ruby 2.3 still is not installing due to this issue with openssl.
I found this which suggested setting some env variables prior to installing ruby. First running:
brew info openssl
Then copying the env variables from there:
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/include"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/[email protected]/lib/pkgconfig"
This seemed to acually do something.. but it still failed.. this time with a different error:

The above errors seem to indicate that ruby is referencing outdated files within the openssl library. This recommended using the --disable binary option to force it to recompile using the the current version of open_ssl that is installed on the system. So gave that a shot:
rvm reinstall ruby-2.3.0 --disable-binary --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/opt/[email protected]
But that also didn't work. After reading through that issue more, it seems that should have already been corrected in the newer versions of rvm.
Update after a few months
Installing ruby 2.7.1 via rvm triggered another openssl upgrade:
