I think folks here will need to know the platform you're running on
and how Ruby came to be installed (before and after the problem).

I see you're posting with Apple Mail.

libreadline is not part of Ruby (I run without it on Windows).

A trivial answer is all I can offer -- find a version of libreadline
for your O/S and install it -OR- try invoking irb with the --noreadline
command line option.
