That didn't seem to work,

$ sudo yum erase libyaml-devel
$ sudo yum erase libyaml

then:

$ cd ~/Downloads
$ wget http://pyyaml.org/download/libyaml/yaml-0.1.4.tar.gz
$ tar -xzvf yaml-0.1.4.tar.gz
$ cd yaml-0.1.4
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME
$ make
$ make check
$ make install

Then back to reinstall Ruby as before.

Maybe there is a problem in the configure script, or I need
to tell it to look for libyaml under $HOME.
