Ok ... updated my rubygems to 2.0.3 (Thanks, AJ) and now received the error
below. chef-solr-installer was not installed, apparently. Any more
suggestions from anyone?

Thanks - Jim L.

It looks like the version of rubygems in your system ruby is not

As a work-around, try adding 'gem_binary /some/path/to/wherever/bin/gem'
to the resource in the interim. This will force the gem provider to shell
out for operations instead of using the RubyGems Ruby API.

For whatever reason, your rubygems install is not placing executables on the PATH.

Also, I believe only master of Chef is compatible with rubygems 2.x, so perhaps you're not using the ruby installation you expected to be using?

And also, is there a particular reason you're not using the Chef 11 server w/ the omnibus installer? It's 100x easier to use, and compatible with Chef 10.x clients if you happen to be stuck on 10.x for some reason.

Hi Daniel,

Seems the Chef 11 server w/ the omnibus installer is not much better:

(chef-server_11.0.8-rc.2+20130422083058.git.19.10e571b-1.ubuntu.12.04_amd64.deb)

This is a brand-new Ubuntu 12.04.1 system, btw.

Does this host have a FQDN set, does hostname --fdqn return a sane result?
