Couldn’t require openssl in ruby

Note: Calls to rubygems.org are deprecated – proceed with caution!

I had the same issue on Mac OSX after also building ruby2.1.0p0 from the source. I already had openssl installed. It appears that the reference in gems needed refreshing. I ran:

gem source -r https://rubygems.org/ to remove

followed by

gem source -a https://rubygems.org/ to read

After this, I was able to run gems install bundler successfully.

If you run into further errors, you can try ./configure --with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/ssl in your ruby downloaded dir/.
