lolcat: lolcat no longer working, i have ruby installed.

a_random_lantern@hal-9000:~$ lolcat
bash: /usr/local/bin/lolcat: /usr/bin/ruby2.5: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

I don’t know why this is happening all of a sudden, it used to work before.

I don’t know the ruby setup in mint but you can most likely fix it with gem install lolcat (or sudo gem install lolcat).

You may need to remove any previously installed version first (either with the package manager you used, or with sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/lolcat)

Marvellous: that worked. Thank you. I did indeed have to use sudo.

Yeah it worked for me, thanks.

Late reply I know

Let’s see if it works for the original poster, too.
