Ruby 2.1.1 with RVM: Getting libyaml Errors

Question

I would like to use Ruby 2.1.1p76and Rails 4.1.0beta1. I get some errors with RVM. I used Ruby 2.0.0 and Rails 4.0.0. I upgraded to OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 and you had to restart everything.

In any case, these are the commands that I run.

\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby

This installation completed successfully. Then I run this command to set the rails.

sudo gem install rails

I get the following errors, says it is looking for libyaml.

/Users/username/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.1/lib/ruby/2.1.0/yaml.rb:4:in `<top (required)>':
It seems your ruby installation is missing psych (for YAML output).
To eliminate this warning, please install libyaml and reinstall your ruby.

So, I am running this command, which is deprecated.

rvm pkg install libyaml

This gives me an obsolescence warning and says to check autolibs.

Therefore, I correct and verify both.

brew install libyaml
##
Warning: libyaml-0.1.4 already installed

more details ...

brew info libyaml
##
libyaml: stable 0.1.5 (bottled)
http://pyyaml.org/wiki/LibYAML
/usr/local/Cellar/libyaml/0.1.4 (7 files, 344K) *
  Built from source
From: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/commits/master/Library/Formula/libyaml.rb
==> Options
--universal

Install autolibs.

rvm get stable --autolibs=enable
rvm install ruby
rvm --default use ruby-2.1.1

Then I get the same error.
