I installed the new Ruby, and tried to run Ruby, but it raises the following error.

(Since I installed Ruby 2.3.0preview1, it had a bug, and I had not been able to run Ruby, and now, after having waited for a month, I installed the new one, and there still is a bug. Disappointed a little bit.)

Can you try with clean install with Ruby 2.3.0 preview2?

It's caused by overwrite install probably.

[sawa (Tsuyoshi Sawada)]

I figured out how to fix it.

I manually deleted the following directories on Ubuntu linux that were created when I installed Ruby 2.3.0 preview 1:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/2.3.0
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.3.0
/usr/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/2.3.0

Then, following the suggestion, I deleted the directory

ruby-2.3.0-preview2

which was messed up by previous ./configure and make. Then reinstalled, and it worked.
