After rvm installation on CentOS 5.8:

[rails@localhost ~]$ rvm -v
rvm 1.16.17
[rails@localhost ~]$ which ruby
~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p286/bin/ruby
[rails@localhost ~]$ ruby -v
ruby 1.9.3p286 (2012-10-12 revision 37165) [i686-linux]
[rails@localhost ~]$ which gem
~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p286/bin/gem

there is a warning:

$ gem -v
/home/rails/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p286/lib/ruby/1.9.1/yaml.rb:56:in `<top (required)>':
It seems your ruby installation is missing psych (for YAML output).
To eliminate this warning, please install libyaml and reinstall your ruby.
1.8.24

I followed some advice:

$ rvm pkg install libyaml

Please note that it's required to reinstall all rubies:

    rvm reinstall all --force

and then:

Too bad, the warning is still there:

1.8.24

How can I get rid of the warning?

After rvm pkg install libyaml, reinstall ruby 1.9.3 by:

 rvm reinstall 1.9.3 --with-libyaml-dir=/home/rails/.rvm/usr

  • based on the error message you're getting (`To eliminate this warning, please install libyaml and reinstall your ruby.`) this *should* fix your problem. My personal experience with rvm has been that it's a world of pain and suffering though so your mileage may vary :-) – voretaq7 Oct 25 '12 at 21:19
  • Finally, thankyou! I've "rvm pkg install libyaml; rvm reinstall 1.9.3"'d a hundred times. – rrrhys Mar 18 '13 at 09:28

rvm get head
rvm reinstall 1.9.3 --movable

sudo apt-get install libtool
sudo apt-get install libyaml-dev
rvm reinstall 1.9.3

I've tried all, this solved my problem.

I think you have to install the libyaml: 

$ wget http://pyyaml.org/download/libyaml/yaml-0.1.4.tar.gz 
$ tar xzvf yaml-0.1.4.tar.gz 
$ cd yaml-0.1.4 
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local 
$ make 
$ make install

  • I am installing rubies via rvm at user level, not system-wide. – ohho Oct 25 '12 at 06:57
  • you have to make sure your OS has libyaml installed, no matter if the RVM is installed at user level or system-wide. and, if you don't have `sudo` access, just modify the `--prefix` parameter, and then install rvm with additional parameters. – Siwei Oct 25 '12 at 07:00
  • libyaml is installed by `rvm pkg install libyaml`, as shown in question. – ohho Oct 25 '12 at 07:11
  • I want to say that you have to install the 'libyaml' by `yum` or `make`, but not `rvm pkg install`. – Siwei Oct 25 '12 at 07:14
  • after installing `libyaml` and then `rvm reinstall 1.9.3`, the warning is still there. – ohho Oct 25 '12 at 07:29

You can install libyaml-devel from alternative repository (I used repoforge.org):

sudo rpm --import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
sudo rpm -ivh http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
sudo yum install -y libyaml-devel
