Can't install ruby 3.2.0 on Ubuntu 22.04 WSL

I'm trying to install Ruby 3.2.0 in Ubuntu 22.04 WSL but I'm getting this error:

Let me know if there is other info that can help identify the problem!

I was able to resolve this issue by running:

RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-openssl-dir=/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/openssl@3/3.1.0 rbenv install 3.2.0

Not sure why. But I've posted it here in case someone else has the same issue. I'm ok with closing this discussion!

Thanks for sharing the solution, but I'm not sure why would it be necessary to install openssl via Homebrew when you already installed libssl-dev via apt.

Also, it's better to use brew --prefix openssl@3 instead of an absolute path to Homebrew "cellar" because different people may have homebrew installed at different locations, or the formula version might be different than 3.1.0:

RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-openssl-dir=$(brew --prefix openssl@3)" rbenv install 3.2.0
