RVM version: rvm 1.18.14 and Ruby is 2.0.0p0

Answer 1

you need to reinstall your rubies:

rvm get head --autolibs=3
rvm pkg remove
rvm reinstall all --force

the new autolibs supporrt will take care of updating dependencies and including them in ruby

Answer 2

Do you have Homebrew installed on your system? If so, try

brew install openssl

in the command line.
