Can't install gems after installing Ruby, get a (LoadError)

When I try to install any gem I get this output:

<internal:/usr/lib/ruby/3.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb>:85:in `require': libruby-3.0.so.3.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory - /home/xxx/gems/extensions/x86_64-linux/3.0.0/zlib-2.1.1/zlib.so (LoadError)

	from /usr/lib/ruby/3.0.0/rubygems/gem_runner.rb:51:in `run' 

'/home/xxx/gems/extensions/x86_64-linux/3.0.0/zlib-2.1.1/zlib.so' is present, so it is confusing why the error states that it doesn't exist.

There are "libruby.so", "libruby.so.3.0", and "libruby.so.3.0.4" in '/usr/lib', but there is no "libruby-3.0.so.3.0" present.

I tried uninstalling Ruby and everything that depends on it, and then reinstalling, but the error persisted.

Do not mix system-wide gem-installations and pacman-packages.

@ Stefan Husmann

Do not mix system-wide gem-installations and pacman-packages.

I don't think I am installing system-wide gem packages. I followed the installation instructions provided on the Jekyll website, which is meant to prevent system-wide gem installations. The gems should be installing in '~/gems/'. The gem installation command I am using is:

gem install jekyll bundler

There is no privilege escalation.

Accidental redundant comment.

Check if  /home/xxx/gems/extensions/x86_64-linux/3.0.0/zlib-2.1.1/zlib.so is readable and ownd by your user, and use "file" command to see if it is really a shared lib.
