When running the "gem update" command on my Gentoo system I get the following error message: > ERROR: Loading command: update (LoadError) > /usr/lib64/ruby/2.5.0/x86_64-linux/openssl.so: undefined symbol: EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m - /usr/lib64/ruby/2.5.0/x86_64-linux/openssl.so > ERROR: While executing gem ... (NoMethodError) > undefined method `invoke_with_build_args' for nil:NilClass The following command returns nothing: > $ grep -r EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m /usr/include/openssl I wonder if the problem is due to the fact that I recently enabled the "bindist" USE flag, globally... Does rubygems need -bindist on openssl? ----------- $ emerge -pv ruby rubygems openssl These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Pretty safe bet that bindist is causing this because in openssl its main purpose is to avoid including Elliptic Curve code that may be patent-encumbered. Not sure why this would cause errors though. Did you recompile dev-lang/ruby after changing openssl?
Rebuilding dev-lang/ruby fixed the problem! Thank you! Anyway I wonder why revdep-rebuild didn't detect this problem...
