I've already installed everything that looks likely, the next step
would be to try to install every package with 'ssl' in the name.

BTW, looks like other people have had this issue with no resolution either:

Also, I tried this after uninstalling the ruby that came with Ubuntu.
Didn't help.  I also reinstalled the Ubuntu built-in ruby ssl package.
 Didn't help.
