So I get the same error but as a new user on OSX , and experienced on
Ruby, I don t get why we should not? This sounds like an Apple thing
and now I am stuck with that error. I have not gotten even one update
on ruby package for now a year.. so I cannot just wait on apple to
update. So what is the process for me now to get rid of that error?
