Installation failure on MacOS Ventura M1 Pro 10c/16c

[zenideas]

This is a mint upgrade from Monterey to Ventura upon unboxing the MBP. Its a 16inch M1 Pro 10core/16core.

When sudo gem install colorls was attempted, it gave the following error at first:
`Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing colorls:

Hi.

According to https://stackoverflow.com/a/68118750/4432837 the Ruby version included by Apple is not really working. You have to install Ruby yourself, e.g. from homebrew -- see https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/installation/#homebrew

\edit: It might also work if you install the headers with something like sudo installer -pkg /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg -target / (adjust the version to match your system version!)

Funny thing is I resolved this issue just now and came to check if the issue was addressed yet.

Figured out by myself that I was being served by MacOS's bundled ruby which are of lower version. But I had Ruby 3.2+ installed via Homebrew and I just updated the $PATH when it indicated from in the prompt after trying:
brew install ruby
It says: echo 'export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/ruby/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

So, after doing this, I had to reload .zshrc by:
source ~/.zshrc

And then sudo gem install colorls --user-install works just fine.

Also had to add /Users/lenin/.gem/ruby/3.2.0/bin to $PATH
