The rvm installation went fine for 32 bit. The output even makes it look like yaml was installed fine

But when I try to use irb and require ‘yaml’ I get an error about libyaml not being installed:

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

Can anyone tell me what I should do?

    Use

    CONFIGURE_OPTS="--with-arch=i386" CFLAGS="-arch i386" LDFLAGS="-arch i386" rvm pkg install libyaml
    

    to compile libyaml in 32-bit and then reinstall your ruby version:

    rvm reinstall ruby-1.9.3-p125-i386 -n i386 --with-arch=i386
