@andrevidic: i think there are some dependecies missing on your system to build ruby.
you can try apt-get build-dep ruby that should install the packages your system would need to build your ruby packages.
(might be older versions, but thats the first quess)

also if "Failed to configure" happens, than the make log is not that helpful.
there should be a config.log or something that says why it can't configure something.

• Status changed from Open to Rejected

The openssl extension of Ruby < 2.4 is not compatible with OpenSSL 1.1.

You can, however, install the 'libssl1.0-dev' package so that OpenSSL 1.0.2 is used instead.
