When I create a Rails app I am getting some errors and I have no idea what they mean or how to fix them. Instead of explaining I am going to output what is happening, I think this might be the best approach to getting help with this:

Fetching source index for https://rubygems.org/
Does this have to do with RVM or Bundler or Gems or??? I am confused.
thanks,

It looks like Ruby was not compiled with openssl.
Here’s an RVM troubleshooting page that should help: http://beginrescueend.com/packages/openssl/
tl;dr — you’ll need to install openssl, then uninstall Ruby and recompile.
