Hi Sarah, It's possible that the update to Homebrew did not go through. If you are on Yosemite, 10.10 was supposed to install both Ruby 2.0 as a default, while Mavericks shipped with Ruby 1.8.7 to support some legacy software. That's one of the reasons I'm confused about whether you were starting from a configuration that had a working version of Homebrew (under Mavericks) that you're trying to update.
I'm not upgraded to Yosemite, and I'm running the last version of Mavericks. When I use Command-Shift-G in Finder and type or paste in: /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions I have folder entries for both 1.8 and 2.0 (with modification dates Oct. 30, 2013 and Oct. 17, 2014). Opening either of those folders includes a Ruby executable. Can you check whether your 1.8 folder has contents? If it doesn't, maybe you can move this over from a Mavericks backup? The other possible way to do the update might be to issue commands in Terminal like: cd /usr/local/Library sudo git pull origin master But I'm not sure how that will play out for you. Sorry not to have more suggestions.
