Hi,
I ran RVM install 1.9.3 on ubuntu 11.10 and received these two warnings: "error running 'make'" and "error running 'make install'"
whilst RVM was working with Libyaml. The process ran through to the end and indicated that the installation of Ruby 1.9.3 was completed.
A check of Ruby - v returned nothing thereby indicating that RVM did not install Ruby 1.9.3.

I am not sure it the problem is with RVM or with Ubuntu 11.10 although I have come across two seperate sites who indicate that there is an issue with Libyaml with regards to Psych/Syck and they advocate installing Libyaml from source and then subsequently installing Ruby 1.9.3 from source.

But, I want my RVM ....lol

Any suggestions as to what to look for?

Thanks,

Tom.
