I might have jumped off the deep end when getting back into Linux and am stuck trying to install a new version of Ruby on OpenSuse with rbenv.

me@linux-tzyj:~> rbenv install 2.4.0
Downloading ruby-2.4.0.tar.bz2...
-> https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.4/ruby-2.4.0.tar.bz2

ERROR: Ruby install aborted due to missing extensions
Try running `apt-get install -y libssl-dev libreadline-dev zlib1g-dev` to fetch missing dependencies.

I tried finding any of those in apt-get and zypper with no luck. Does OpenSuse handle these packages differently than Ubuntu does? That is what I used to use years ago.

I tried running zypper in -t pattern devel_basis but that just removed the zlib1g-dev in the list of missing packages

They are indeed slightly different. Try zypper install libopenssl-devel readline-devel.
