I am trying to make a simple client to test out em-websockets and see how it will function for a future project. But I am unable to install the latest version of the gem.

I am using RVM with ruby 1.9.2p180 with rubygems 1.5.2 and bundler 1.0.12. When I try and use the latest gem with bundler I get the following error:

/home/cameron/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/specification.rb:289:in `load': uninitialized constant Syck::Syck (NameError)

When trying to use the command "gem install em-websocket" I get

ERROR: While executing gem ... (NameError)
uninitialized constant Syck::Syck

When I specify the version of the gem to be 0.3.2, instead of pulling the latest version everything works fine. Any suggestions on why this is happening for websocket? The base eventmachine gem is working fine without em-websocket specified.
