RHEL 7 and rvm (libyaml-devel not found) #2998

normsu · 2014-08-06T18:38:21Z

I'm using RHEL:

cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.0 (Maipo)

RVM seemed to install fine but I cannot install ruby.

-bash-4.2$ rvm install 2.1.2

libyaml is installed but from what I can see there is no libyaml-devel in EPEL 7 (http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/beta/7/x86_64/repoview/letter_l.group.html)

Any help or suggestions on how to get around this would be appreciated! Thanks.

Hi, I had your same problem and solved this way:
sudo yum install libyaml

Took note of the version, then looked for its devel version in rpmfind.net then in my case:

wget ftp://mirror.switch.ch/pool/4/mirror/scientificlinux/7rolling/x86_64/os/Packages/libyaml-devel-0.1.4-10.el7.x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh libyaml-devel-0.1.4-10.el7.x86_64.rpm
rvm requirements
rvm install 1.9.3-p448

I needed 1.9.3-p448 but I think it will work for any Ruby version

jmera · 2014-08-21T21:04:49Z

Thank you @agiovacchini , your instructions worked for me.

mpapis · 2014-09-04T14:42:12Z

can you open ticket for http://fedoraproject.org/ about hte missing libyaml-devel in epel for RHEL 7? - I would like to avoid fixing problem that does not require fixing on my side ...

xacaxulu · 2014-09-18T00:30:00Z

+1
@agiovacchini had the right answer for me:

wget ftp://mirror.switch.ch/pool/4/mirror/scientificlinux/7rolling/x86_64/os/Packages/libyaml-devel-0.1.4-10.el7.x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh libyaml-devel-0.1.4-10.el7.x86_64.rpm
rvm requirements

cg2v · 2014-12-09T20:09:42Z

FYI, RHEL7 (and 6) include libyaml-devel in the "Optional" repository. The optional repository is available to any subscriber, but you have to configure it (with rhn-channel or "subscription-manager repos"). As is redhat's usual practice, they are based on version 0.1.4 and 0.1.3 respectively, but claim to include patches for CVE-2013-6393 and CVE-2014-2525

mpapis · 2014-12-09T20:13:01Z

now this is something I could use, can you show me instructions for checking if this repo is enabled and for enabling it? - please open a new ticket

betesh · 2015-08-06T18:55:33Z

Alternative (better) solution that @agiovacchini's: #3191 (comment)

leshiynyc · 2015-10-30T19:12:16Z

this worked for me

subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-optional-rpms

yevgeniyo · 2016-08-14T08:14:27Z

Solution of @leshiynyc is good for me, thank you

viniciuspires · 2016-11-01T13:30:25Z

I'm trying this but getting 2 problems, first, the wget link is probably offline because I get this message:

# wget ftp://mirror.switch.ch/pool/4/mirror/scientificlinux/7rolling/x86_64/os/Packages/libyaml-devel-0.1.4-10.el7.x86_64.rpm

           => “libyaml-devel-0.1.4-10.el7.x86_64.rpm”

O arquivo “libyaml-devel-0.1.4-10.el7.x86_64.rpm” não foi encontrado.

Second, when I try to download libyaml-devel from another source and another version, I get:

# rpm -Uvh libyaml-devel-0.1.3-4.el6_6.x86_64.rpm 
aviso: libyaml-devel-0.1.3-4.el6_6.x86_64.rpm: Cabeçalho V3 RSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID c105b9de: NOKEY
erro: Dependências não satisfeitas:
    libyaml = 0.1.3-4.el6_6 é requerido por libyaml-devel-0.1.3-4.el6_6.x86_64

What should I do? I can't find this libyaml on yum search, I tried to install some other Yaml lib that looked like this from the yum repository and it didn't work either :/

leshiynyc · 2016-11-01T13:39:43Z

@viniciuspires look at my earlier post.

viniciuspires · 2016-11-01T13:41:58Z

@leshiynyc Tried that too :/

# subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
bash: subscription-manager: comando não encontrado

leshiynyc · 2016-11-01T13:44:19Z

@viniciuspires what OS are you on ? Run this for me, please : cat /etc/redhat-release

viniciuspires · 2016-11-01T13:48:08Z

Woops, sorry... I forgot to add that info.

It's RHEL 6

@viniciuspires : https://access.redhat.com/solutions/265523

notice that the commands for subscribing are different between rhel6 and rhel7

viniciuspires · 2016-11-01T19:28:38Z

@leshiynyc Also gives a command not found error :/

vadq91 · 2017-08-09T19:21:59Z

Try whit this:

# curl ftp://195.220.108.108/linux/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/libyaml-devel-0.1.4-11.el7_0.x86_64.rpm --output libyaml-devel-0.1.4-11.el7_0.x86_64.rpm

# rpm -Uvh libyaml-devel-0.1.4-11.el7_0.x86_64.rpm

Worked for me.

jianbojason · 2017-09-17T00:52:29Z

@vadq91 Worked for me. Thanks

Ruby supports embeded libyaml since 2.0.0, no need to require superflous and buggy instructions to add it. This can pose security risk for not updated libyaml - but it should be Ruby's responsibility to inform users about it!
