All of the above occupied several frustrating days of my time.
So this is why I say the portfile for ruby_select is broken. Several “ruby$NN”
packages depend on it.
MacPorts’ Python gives a new user something
/local/bin/ruby ->
/opt/local/bin/ruby2.6

Hi Christopher,
In brief, MacPorts’ “port select” command is working fine at the command-line
in Catalina… but the problem is with installing ANY version of ruby, not
switching between multiple versions of ruby that are already installed.

Port “ruby_select” is broken.
Port “ruby” wasted my time because it looked as though it would be the default
one to install, but then at the end of installation it deprecated itself.

I use rvm to install Rubies. But some folks like rbenv.

Hi guys,
MacPorts contains packages of many versions of Ruby, similarly to the Python
and Perl groups, but the corresponding “ruby_select” port does not
automatically create the links needed to access commands “ruby”, “gem” etc. I
was able to get around this by using “sudo port select” manually
