Psych 5.0.1 fails to install with ruby 3.1.2p20

[Thierry]

Hi everyone,

I don't know if this is a rubyinstaller problem or a Psych problem.

There is already an open issue on github:

https://github.com/ruby/psych/issues/603

Details for my figure case are below.

There must be a way to compile, since with ruby 3.2, we have the gem installed :

> ruby -v
ruby 3.2.0 (2022-12-25 revision a528908271) [x64-mingw-ucrt]

> gem update psych
Updating installed gems
Nothing to update
Gems already up-to-date: psych

> ruby -e "require 'psych'; puts Psych::VERSION"
5.0.1

Cheers

-- Thierry

Found the answer: you need to

pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-libyaml

first
