Cannot exec jekyll

Help

I’m trying to update a website, but I’m running into an issue running the bundle exec jekyll serve command.

I get the following error:

bundler: failed to load command: jekyll (/home/user/.ruby/bin/jekyll)
<internal:/usr/lib/ruby/3.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb>:38:in `require': cannot load such file -- erb (LoadError)

I’m running ruby 3.2.5. Jekyll used to run with no issue. I have already tried a full reinstall of ruby and all gems to no avail.
What am I missing? Even running gem install erb does not solve the issue.

fairly sure you have ruby (or some of the gems) installed twice - once in home/user and the other internally whatever that means. I think some systems come with a system ruby that sometimes causes issues when you then install ruby on your own.

I’d uninstall it and then see if it is still installed? I think there is also a which ruby command that may help?

Copy and paste it on GPT, and say you are not a programmer expert. So it will give you easy steps to get a solution.
