when running a Rails server, I get the following error: no such file to load -- openssl

I try a solution I find online. I go to ~/.rvm/src/ruby-1.9.2-head/ext/openssl. I type : ruby extconf.rb, but I get the following:

=== OpenSSL for Ruby configurator ===
=== Checking for system dependent stuff... ===
checking for t_open() in -lnsl... no
checking for socket() in -lsocket... no
checking for assert.h... yes
=== Checking for required stuff... ===
checking for openssl/ssl.h... no
=== Checking for required stuff failed. ===
Makefile wasn't created. Fix the errors above.

I cannot use make nor make install.

rvm pkg install openssl (older format - rvm package install openssl)
rvm pkg install iconv (older format - rvm package install iconv)
rvm remove 1.9.2
rvm install 1.9.2 -C --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr,--with-iconv-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr
