Hi Sarah, I haven't been following what you're trying to do, but the likely source of your problem is that Yosemite changed both the default version of Ruby (2.0 instead of 1.8.7) and its location, while Homebrew has sym links that are coded to expect the older version of Ruby. Since it can't find the interpreter, it's failing.
I can't tell from what you've described what you are trying to do. If it is a matter of fixing the sym links and you're running Yosemite and with a version of Homebrew that was already updated and working under Mavericks then you can type the following 4 lines in Terminal to update Homebrew for Yosemite: cd /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions sudo ln -s Current 1.8 brew update sudo rm 1.8 You basically change your directory so you can create a sym link to 1.8 for the current version of Ruby, run brew update, remove your sym link.
