RubyGems Error while installing Jekyll 'openssl/ssl.h' file not found

I am trying to install Jekyll on my Mac (gem install jekyll) using RubyGems but I'm running into the error below.

Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing jekyll:

I tried brew install openssl but it says that openssl is already installed, and I also tried gem install eventmachine -- --with-cppflags=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include but I'm getting the same error 'openssl/ssl.h' file not found.

Could someone point out how to fix this issue here?
