Answer 1

I remembered that in the last weeks I upgraded mysql from 5.6 to 5.7 so in the bash file I had some mysql5.6 configurations blocking the ruby installation. Only what I need to do was delete from bash profile the lines related with mysql5.6

Open bash file

nano .bash_profile

Delete

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/mysql@5.6/lib"

Reload bash or open other terminal

source ~/.bash_profile
