Macports Ruby: Symbol not found: _SSLv2_client_method error

This error usually shows up when you try to run the following command:

sudo gem install 

For those that don’t know what I am talking about, this is the error message:

ERROR:  Loading command: install (LoadError)
	dlopen(/opt/local/lib/ruby2.2/2.2.0/x86_64-darwin15/openssl.bundle, 9): Symbol not found: _SSLv2_client_method
  Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/ruby2.2/2.2.0/x86_64-darwin15/openssl.bundle

The only way to get this to go away is to re-compile ruby so it will use the new openSSL library. Macports, however, installs packages from binaries. So, after hours of trial and error, I found a way to get around this. You can re-install ruby with the following command and the error message will go away:

 sudo port install ruby23 +mactk

You will have to replace ruby23 with whatever version you want to install.
