ruby - gem eventmachine fatal error: 'openssl/ssl.h' file not found

Question

Just installed El Capitan and can't install gem eventmachine 1.0.7. openssl is at 1.0.2a-1. Tried to use --with-ssl-dir but it seems ignored.

Reported it to their github repo as well.

Any suggestions are really appreciated. Thanks.

$ ls /usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2a-1/include/openssl/ssl.h
/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2a-1/include/openssl/ssl.h

$ gem install eventmachine -v '1.0.7' -- --with-ssl-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2a-1/include

$ gem install eventmachine -- --with-cppflags=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include                                                                                                             
Building native extensions with: '--with-cppflags=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include'
This could take a while...

You can also set up bundler like this but I think that is superficial

bundle config build.eventmachine --with-cppflags=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include
