FYI: If you come from Google on this one... YAML is installed with Ruby... If it can be compiled! When installing 1.9.2 with "rvm install 1.9.2"
I stumbled upon Yaml not installing because gcc4.2 wasn't on my system. Turned out it was because Xcode 4.2 doesn't deliver GCC 4.2 anymore so
you'll have to either Install Xcode 4.1 (or at least the Unix tools) or install gcc by hand (or brew, or anything).
