 moshe-mbp:~ moshem$ gem install cocoapods
 ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem          


        

Answer 1

You can try to update OpenSSL from source instead:

curl -L -O http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1b.tar.gz.asc
curl -L -O http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1b.tar.gz
gpg --verify openssl-1.0.1b.tar.gz.asc
tar xvzf openssl-1.0.1b.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.0.1b
perl ./Configure shared zlib --prefix=/opt/local darwin64-x86_64-cc
make
make test
sudo make install
