[sasatefa2009 (Mostafa Nafady)]

Greetings,

My ruby version is ruby 2.3.3p222 (2016-11-21) [x86_64-linux-gnu]

I had multiple error while trying to install ruby in Kali-linux
"\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby"
also "rvm install ruby-2.4.1" is the same error
i recently used sudo gem cleanup before attempting to install ruby

and here is the log

[shevegen (Robert A. Heiler)]

This is a very unusual gem, sasatefa2009.

https://rubygems.org/gems/make

It is meant for SQL.

Ruby itself comes bundled with a few internal gems; the "make" gem is not one of them.

You probably have another ruby version; the directory "/var/lib/gems/2.3.0/gems/make-0.3.1/bin/make"
seems like a debian path. (You can also do a dry-test of compiling ruby from source into some
--prefix= directory, such as /opt/ somewhere or your home directory like --prefix=$HOME/ruby/2.4.1;
latest URL is currently https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.4/ruby-2.4.1.tar.gz and manage the
$PATH variable to specify which ruby gets priority, the one that you probably have at /usr/bin/
or /usr/local/bin/ or the one that you would have compiled. Don't forget libyaml e. g.
http://pyyaml.org/download/libyaml/yaml-0.1.7.tar.gz)

Indeed that was the case, i un-installed it, and installed the latest version of ruby successfully and everything now works very well. Thank you very much.
