Probably not good.  Can you rename?

There should be a system ruby which is standard with Mac OS X  ... it seems
you have deleted that as well... (Locomotive assumes this is present in some
parts - though not on startup I don't think...).  (I would download and
install ruby into /usr - contact me directly if you want info on how to do
that.)

Any recommendations as to the easiest way to fix this? I have read
