ERROR: While executing gem … (NameError) uninitialized constant Psych::Syck

What the ????
I was wanting to try out goliath.io (Goliath: Non-blocking, Ruby 1.9 Web Server) for more info look at http://www.igvita.com/2011/03/08/goliath-non-blocking-ruby-19-web-server/

In any case I was not able to get it to install on JRuby so went and get me 1.9.2 MRI.

Once installed MRI 1.9.2, I went into the gem dir to gem install goliath and guess what this message pops up.

    This should be fixed in the latest version of the gem. :-)
