mac os x 10.9 - brew server requires sinatra error

I want to run brew server on my Mac OS X Mavericks, but it throws an error:

MacBook-Pro-Dmitri:bin dmitri$ brew server
Error: Sinatra required but not found
To install: /usr/bin/gem install sinatra

The problem is that Sinatra is already installed:

MacBook-Pro-Dmitri:gems dmitri$ ls -a
. CFPropertyList-2.2.4 mini_portile-0.5.2 rack-1.5.2 rubygems-update-2.1.11 sqlite3-1.3.8
.. libxml-ruby-2.7.0 nokogiri-1.6.0 rack-protection-1.5.1 sinatra-1.4.4 tilt-1.4.1

Then I found that I have two Ruby versions on my machine:

MacBook-Pro-Dmitri:~ dmitri$ cd /Library/Ruby/Gems/
MacBook-Pro-Dmitri:Gems dmitri$ ls -a
.   ..  1.8 2.0.0

And Sinatra is in 2.0.0 folder.. Do I need to switch Ruby versions? Is it possible?

If you are using RVM, you might consider this procedure.

First, make sure you're using system Ruby, not one of the versions managed by RVM.

$ rvm use system

Verify that system Ruby is the one that you're using

$ rvm current

Check to see whether Sinatra is already installed.

$ gem list sinatra

If Sinatra is already installed with the system gems, then this solution might not work for you. Consider a different approach. However, if Sinatra is not installed, go ahead and install it like so...

$ sudo gem install sinatra

And then test the Homebrew web server.

$ brew server

Navigate your browser to http://localhost:4567 and you should be able to review the list of Homebrew-installed packages from there.

I realise I might be a bit late, but to anyone else experiencing the same issue: yes, you do need to install it for the system Ruby. Instead of

gem install sinatra

do 

/usr/bin/gem install sinatra

You should be able to run brew server after that.

Do you have RVM or another Ruby version control system? https://rvm.io/rvm/install
