Are you missing the devel package for ruby?

It seems that it was a problem with the version of the "Command Line Tools (OS X 10.11) beta" install. Yesterday Apple released version 7 and it repaired the problem.

In some instances, you may try to run
xcode-select --install, and receive the errorcan't download the software because of a network problem. And you know it's not the network because you're searching google for the problem.You'll need to re-download the appropriate version of the Xcode command line tools: https://developer.apple.com/download/more/?name=command%20line%20tools
