what os?

it looks like you have ruby installed in 2 places - Users/ and System/.

It looks to be trying to use both at the same time and is confused. You might try uninstalling ruby, then checking to see if it is still installed, then re-install it. There is probably a way to manage ruby and tell it to use one or the other but that isn’t something I have any experience with.
