How can I open it? It is twofold. Fix your path ala the other email in this thread. You should also do the following: cd /usr/bin sudo mv ruby ruby16 sudo mv irb irb16 If you have any scripts that use /usr/bin/ruby you might also want to make symbolic links to /usr/local/bin/ruby, but honestly it is just better to fix the shebangs to point to /usr/local/bin/ruby (my pref) or use env ruby to find the right one dynamically.
