[Rubygems-developers] can not install RubyGems (uninitialized constant YAML::Syck::DefaultLoader (NameError))

[Greg Hauptmann]

PS.  I did find the syck.so...what does this imply?

[root at home local]# find /usr/local -name syck.so
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux/syck.so

[root at home local]# ls -l /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux/syck.so
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 271368 Feb  7 06:18
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux/syck.so
