Answer 2

I got the same issue, make and install libyaml then you will be able to compile ejabberd

cd tmp/
sudo wget http://pyyaml.org/download/libyaml/yaml-0.1.6.tar.gz
sudo tar xzvf yaml-0.1.6.tar.gz 
cd yaml-0.1.6/
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install

Answer 3

You can install libyaml-devel in centos

sudo yum install libyaml-devel
