After installing jekyll (v4.0.0 on Ruby v2.6.5 on macOS Mojave 10.14.6 with Xcode installed) when running any jekyll commands, like jekyll --versionfor instance, I receive an error: Symbol not found: _ffi_type_double (LoadError).
Found some ffi-related stuff on StackOverflow which did not help me. Therefore, I can’t use jekyll currently…any ideas on this?
Here’s the traceback:

Installing Mac OS X again was the only solution. Now Jekyll is running again...
