This is a bit off-topic for this list, so I will have to be concise.

Say you want to install openssl in /path/to/install:

1) 
mkdir -p /path/to/install

2) (from the source of openssl)
./Configure darwin64-x86_64-cc --prefix=/path/to/install --openssldir=/path/to/install/openssl/
make 
make install

3) (from ..../ruby/ext/openssl)
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/install/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
make clean
ruby extconf.rb
make
make install

If this fails, you should seek help from someone who knows more than I
do about macos.
