Problem

I'm trying to bundle install a rails project but I'm stuck... when I try to run `gem install psych` all I get is this: ``` Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing psych: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /Users/gibatronic/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p327/bin/ruby extconf.rb checking for yaml.h... no yaml.h is missing.
