    Looks like the problem is:

    ossl_pkcs7.c:573:1: error: unknown type name ‘STACK’ 
    

    My guess is its a dependancy issue.

    Look at the output of:

    rvm notes
    

    And ensure you have followed all the steps for Ubuntu.

    One obvious thing is that Ubuntu 11.10 is only just out – might be worth searching/posting on the Ubuntu forums to see if anyone there has had any issues with it and rvm.
