You are probably searching for Error running '__rvm_make -j 1'
That only says, that something went wrong while compiling ruby. This question is only relevant to you if openssl and/or ossl_ssl is part of your error message.
But maybe your problem is a similar one and you can solve your problem with some customizations.

Background
Today I wanted to delete all gems of a project but forgot to specify a path for bundler beforehand so all gems where installed in ~/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.4/gems/ .

As it's the only ruby 2.2.4 project I though rm -rf ~/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.4/gems/* would be perfectly fine. It wasn't. Bundler was gone and gem install bundler didn't worked anymore as well.

I removed the hole ruby installation with rvm remove ruby-2.2.4 ant tried to reinstall it. This is the console output with the error I got:

Console output

There has been an error while running make. Halting the installation.
Retrying does not change anything. I also tried to completely uninstall rvm (rvm implode) and reinstall it but that was neither successful.
System

Mac OS X – El Capitan (10.11.3)

rvm 1.26.11 (latest)

Homebrew 0.9.5
Looks like there is a problem with openssl.
rvm uses homebrew as its package manager on my installation (it's the default I guess). You can ensure that with rvm autolibs homebrew.
I reinstalled openssl with
brew reinstall openssl
and saw via brew list that there was another openssl package called openssl098 installed on my system. Trying to reinstall it too caused the following error:
> brew reinstall openssl098
Error: No available formula with the name "openssl098"
I just removed the package with
brew uninstall --force openssl098
and reinstalled openssl again to be sure openssl098 wasn't a needed dependency. But it wasn't installed again.
Afterwards I tried installing ruby-2.2.4 via rvm again and it worked like a charm :) So I guess my openssl package was broken for some reason.
