Fail to install chef-server on Ubuntu 12.04, new Ruby

Chef Infra (archive)

Hello,

I’m seeing an error installing chef server on Ubuntu 12.04, with the system
ruby updated to 1.9.3.

Following the steps on the wiki:
http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Installing+Chef+Server+on+Debian+or+Ubuntu+using+Packages
an error occurs starting chef:

Setting up chef-server-api (10.18.2-1) …

Creating config file /etc/chef/server.rb with new version

  • Starting chef-server
    /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in require': cannot load such file -- merb-core (LoadError) from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:inrequire’
    from /usr/sbin/chef-server:24:in `’
    …fail!

Does chef server still run with 1.9 ruby?
