When I execute rvm install 3.2.0 the installation fails with the next error:

• Status changed from Open to Feedback

• You should use the release version of Ruby 3.2.0, not rc1.
• You may need to install libyaml-devel or other libyaml library.

Sorry, I have posted one of the diferent tests I have done. I have installed first time the 3.2.0 version and the error was the same.

I had installed libyaml-0.1.7-5.el8.x86_64 and now I have installed libyaml-devel-0.1.7-5.el8.x86_64 and seems to finish ok. Is there any requirements file that says that you need to install the devel version?

This is actually distribution specific. For example archlinux does not
(in general) split packages into the base and -dev, but has just
one. In general for compilation of ruby, you need to have headers for
the C libraries used (those are provided by the libyaml-devel). After
the ruby is compiled, you should be fined to uninstall the -devel
package.

Since the list of packages differs per distribution, I'm unsure if
(and doubt it) there is definitive list anywhere.
