@Matinovsky - just a heads up, this forum is fine for asking about problems getting Sonic Pi building on your system, or how to use it once it’s running etc, but regarding raising a bug or a start up issue, we’d prefer that things like that are not cross-posted here - the GitHub issue tracker is the best place for start up issues. (We prefer to track things like this in a single location). I have already replied to your issue on GitHub, can you perhaps respond to my question there?

I have resolved the same error according to this link:
