BUILD FAILED (macOS 14.6.1 on arm64 using ruby-build 20240917-2-ga22ff72e)

It seems that I'm encountering a build failure when attempting to install Ruby, even with OpenSSL 3 and other dependencies installed. Not sure how to fix it. I referred to a few similar problems here such as:

#2439

#2404

but it does not seem to work for my problem. Maybe I'm missing somethng?

This is the main issue i was trying to solve:

ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError)

Hi, I'm sorry you're having trouble installing a Ruby version.

ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::FilePermissionError)
You don't have write permissions for the /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.6.0 directory.

This is very strange. It seems like something is trying to install a gem into the location of the system Ruby, but I would never expect this during an installation of a Ruby version. Did you get this error message from the log file that was the result of the rbenv install command? Could you paste more of the log, perhaps as a GitHub Gist?

Command: rbenv install 3.1.2

Just to check something, could you try to install the latest Ruby 3.1.x version, which is at the time of writing rbenv install 3.1.6? Maybe there are bugs in the build system of 3.1.2 that got fixed in newer versions. Thanks
