Any further advice on how to fix this problem?
Well, I have no idea what could be wrong…
The fact is that ruby cannot load fast_gettext, but I’m not really a ruby expert and don’t know how to find out why.
Does Yast work in text mode? (just type “sudo /sbin/yast” into a terminal window)
Maybe you have set some RUBY envvars that cause this?
env | grep RUBY
Huh. Text mode didn’t work before, but now it does.
darin@slackerd:~> env | grep RUBYMY_RUBY_HOME=/home/darin/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p247
RUBY_VERSION=ruby-2.0.0-p247
Oh, for heaven’s sake. Turns out I did have a self-compiled ruby installed. I forgot that I still had rvm installed from when I was running Slackware on this PC. I just removed the .rvm folder, and removed the calls to it in .bashrc and .bashprofile. I then rebooted the machine, started up Install/Remove software, and it loaded right up.
Sorry about taking up your time. Man, I feel stupid right now.

Why do you have that? It could be the cause of your problems. :-?

Question.
Were you running YaST after doing “su”, or doing “su -”, or perhaps “sudo”? There are differences.

to clarify it was a bug in yast not resetting environment variables => http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-updates/2014-05/msg00030.html
