What version of OS X are you running? Are you using Homebrew?

Looks like you are missing OpenSSL library file(s).

If you have Homebrew try installing Ruby by prefixing your rbenv command with the following options:

CFLAGS='-g -O2' RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-openssl-dir=`brew --prefix openssl` rbenv install 2.0.0-p247
