libyaml doesn't appear to be working with ruby

Hi Everyone.

I'm running suse linux 11.2 with a ruby on rails 3.0.5 development
environment. Working through rvm with ruby 1.9.2-p0

I can't get rails to work with the psych yaml parser. It is supposed to work
by default but rails keeps deciding that it cannot work with psych and
defaults to the older (and out of date ) syck parser. I have come to the
conclusion that it is because the ruby psych can't find libyaml files.

I began with libyaml-0-2 version .0.1.3-2.1 but I have upgraded to the
latest libyaml 0.1.3-4.7, installing from rpm's. Didn't help. I downloaded a
tarball and did configure, make, make install. No difference.

I have no idea how to even check if libyaml is installed correctly. Is there
a command that I can run in the console to check this?

Does anyone know the correct process for installing ruby via rvm so that
libyaml is available?

I can't even get
$ rvm package install libyaml
to work even though this is supposed to be a default command

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Regards

dukha
