Why do I get the error 'The Ruby openssl extension was not compiled ERROR: Ruby install aborted due to missing extensions'?

When I run

RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-openssl-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl@3/3.0.1 rbenv install 3.1.0

I get this output:

Downloading ruby-3.1.0.tar.gz...

Installing ruby-3.1.0...
ruby-build: using readline from homebrew

  CC=clang
  LDFLAGS=-L/Users/jeremy/.rbenv/versions/3.1.0/lib
  CPPFLAGS=-I/Users/jeremy/.rbenv/versions/3.1.0/include

I don't see any clues in the logs. I have tried lots of things like reinstalling rbenv and openssl, not specifying the configure opts, system updates, installing xcode, and more things from google. Maybe I am missing something.

Ruby does not (yet) support OpenSSL 3.0. Implementing support for this newer version is tracked in https://github.com/ruby/openssl/issues/369

For now, you have to use Openssl 1.1 instead, which you can install with

brew install openssl@1.1
