thanksmate, janxie

The patch works !!

what caused the problem ?? openssl incompatibility issue...if interested google for more:P

Solution:
If anybody confused like me... "Cheese, I am rvm guy, how do I patch... "make" and "(sudo) make install".. so my rvm understands the end result"... Nevermind, I got the work arounds :D

How ??
+ rvm install ruby-1.8.7-p249 --patch path/to/downloaded.patch
But....if still no luck... same crappy ossl-error.. damn
+ do inject patch on fly of Mr.old ruby-ve.rs.i-on installation...

Demo: while intalling ruby like this...
→ rvm install ruby-1.8.7-p249
it starts downloading source... start to configure... Meanwhile fire up new terminal and inject the patch then like:(considering systemwide installation)
→ cd /usr/local/rvm/src/ruby-1.8.7-p249;patch -p0 < 'path/to/openssl.patch'

Mine worked :D, hope yours do to.. Good luck हे हे
