Question

I am getting this error message:

"It seems your ruby installation is missing psych (for YAML output).
To eliminate this warning, please install libyaml and reinstall your ruby."

I have tried entering this command: rvm pkg install libyaml

and I am getting this error message:

"Fetching yaml-0.1.4.tar.gz to /Users/luke/.rvm/archives
Extracting yaml-0.1.4.tar.gz to /Users/luke/.rvm/src
Error running 'tar xmzf /Users/luke/.rvm/archives/yaml-0.1.4.tar.gz -C

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

Try this…

Open a new terminal window and:

cd .rvm/src
sudo rm -rf yaml*

(supply your credentials)

cd ~
rvm pkg install libyaml
