Subject: Gem and/or YAML warnings

Hi,

Ruby 1.8.2
Rubygems 0.8.10
Syck 0.55
Solaris 10

I installed the dbi-dbrc package via gems.  However, if I run this
simple script, I get a slew of warnings if I run with -d or -w:

# gemtest.rb
require "dbi/dbrc"

djberge@~/programming/ruby-645>ruby -w gemstest.rb

I can get rid of them by doing "require 'rubygems'", followed by
"require_gem ... ", but I thought I should mention this.
