I have trouble finding the package for this software. I built and installed from the packages found here, but it's still not working properly with rvm and gem (log is located here). How would you suggest finding a package for this to work properly?

stanley@ubuntu:~/Github/webdev_class/ruby$ sudo apt-cache search ^openssl

[sudo] password for stanley: 

openssl-blacklist - Blacklists for  OpenSSL RSA keys and tools

openssl-blacklist-extra - Non-default blacklists of OpenSSL RSA keys

libengine-pkcs11-openssl - OpenSSL engine for PKCS#11 modules

libxmlsec1-openssl - Openssl engine for the XML security library

openssl - Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary and related cryptographic tools

Here is the printout after trying dpkg -l | grep openssl.

stanley@ubuntu:~/Github/webdev_class/ruby$ dpkg -l | grep openssl

ii  openssl                                1.0.0e-2ubuntu4.5                       Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary and related cryptographic tools

ii  python-openssl                         0.12-1ubuntu1                           Python wrapper around the OpenSSL library

Use sudo apt-get install openssl, or use the software center to find it.

When I look for packages, I generally use apt-cache search whatever.

For openssl, here's what I see on my system:

$ apt-cache search ^openssl

openssl - Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary and related cryptographic tools

openssl-blacklist - Blacklists for  OpenSSL RSA keys and tools

openssl-blacklist-extra - Non-default blacklists of OpenSSL RSA keys

libengine-pkcs11-openssl - OpenSSL engine for PKCS#11 modules

libxmlsec1-openssl - Openssl engine for the XML security library

For gem dependencies, you would normally use something like :

sudo apt-get install ruby-full build-essential ruby-rvm yorick rubygems

However, apparently ruby-rvm is broken, so the ex(?)-maintainer's advice is to remove it completely, and install via the provided URL and bash script:

sudo apt-get --purge remove ruby-rvm

sudo rm -rf /usr/share/ruby-rvm /etc/rvmrc /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh
open new terminal and validate environment is clean from old rvm
settings (should be no output):
env | grep rvm
if there was output, try to open new terminal, if it does not help -
restart computer

install RVM:
curl -L get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
do not forget to read rvm requirements before installing rubies
