Vim command-t plugin, Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6: could not load C extension

I just updated my OS X to Sierra 10.12.6. When I open vim and try to use command-t I am getting the following error: 

command-t.vim could not load the C extension.
Please see INSTALLATION and TROUBLE-SHOOTING in the help.
Vim Ruby version: 2.5.0-p0
Expected version: 2.4.1-p111
For more information type:    :help command-t

My current state of the world happened after the following: 1. brew uninstall ruby vim => brew install ruby vim

I've tried implementing advice from the following stackoverflow + github issues:

And of course, the command-t documentation: (https://github.com/wincent/command-t/blob/master/doc/command-t.txt). Unfortunately, most of these examples are old and not relevant to the most recent MacOS, Ruby, or Vim versions. The path to my ruby extconf.rb is also slightly different than the examples...

Path to where extconf.rb lives in the examples: 

cd ~/.vim/bundle/command-t/ruby/command-t

Path on my computer: 

cd ~/.vim/bundle/command-t/ruby/command-t/ext/command-t

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Have you build the C-extension? If not, run

ruby extconf.rb && make

in the directory

~/.vim/bundle/command-t/ruby/command-t/ext/command-t

Afterwards, command-t should work. If not, you could post the output of make here.
