I'm running RVM on a Joyent Accelerator which runs OpenSolaris. RVM fails to compile ruby 1.9.1 and 1.9.2 - the RVM team tell me this is a problem with Ruby rather than RVM. A full description and error log can be found at http://gist.github.com/550022 (ignore the first bit about installing ruby 1.8.7 through RVM).

From the error message, the dynamic linker of the OS could not find OpenSSL shared library.
To solve the issue quickly, please set LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to the location of OpenSSL library, for example, LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib (change /usr/local/lib to the directory OpenSSL shared libraries are installed).
To solve the issue without setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH, please specify an environment variable before compiling ruby, and set some parameters when running ./configure.
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib"
(the location /usr/local/lib should be changed to the directory OpenSSL shared libraries are installed and /usr/local/include should be changed to the directory OpenSSL header files are installed.)
