I’m trying to get chef running on opensolaris sxce build 115.

I’m getting the following error

./chef-solo -c /solo.rb -j /chef.json -r

Where did your Ruby come from?

Karl,There's clearly something strange happening with the linking of C
extensions. Does running ldd (or equivalent) on the .so files under
/var/ruby/1.8/gem_home/gems/json-1.1.9/ext/json/ext/
give you any hints?

I would do 1.8.6.

There is something wrong with your ruby install. Stuff like that is
why I quit solaris. I spent too much time mucking with compilers and
linking and undefined symbols.

Karl those look right as far as I can tell. You're looking for something
like "symbol not found". See if you get anything interesting with ldd -r.
Also, are you setting $LD_LIBRARY_PATH to a non-default value? Try unsetting
this variable if it is not empty.

Karl those look right as far as I can tell. You're looking for something
like "symbol not found". See if you get anything interesting with ldd -r.
Also, are you setting $LD_LIBRARY_PATH to a non-default value? Try unsetting
this variable if it is not empty.

Karl,
There's clearly something strange happening with the linking of C
extensions. Does running ldd (or equivalent) on the .so files
under /var/ruby/1.8/gem_home/gems/json-1.1.9/ext/json/ext/ give you any
hints?

Once a working Ruby is installed, it seems the problem is, at least on
my test system (opensolaris 11):

$ ohai os
"solaris2.11"

But there's no plugins for solaris2.11, the directory is solaris2:

$ ls -d /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ohai-0.3.2/lib/ohai/plugins/
solaris*
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ohai-0.3.2/lib/ohai/plugins/solaris2/

I created a symlink on my system, solaris2 to solaris2.11, and chef
ran successfully.

I opened a ticket for this issue in ohai:

Is this bootstrap-latest.tar.gz downloaded from S3?

If so, please note the Opscode cookbooks are focused on Linux,
particularly Debian or Ubuntu. As such, you'll need to modify the
cookbooks to work on Solaris.

Also, at this time Chef doesn't have a provider for managing packages
on Solaris. I believe someone from IRC (sigmonsays?) was working on
Solaris providers, but I don't know the status.

That said, a Solaris chef-client should [mostly] work. You can use
execute/script resources to manage packages until a provider is
available. I don't know if chef-server will install on Solaris, as I
couldn't get stompserver gem installed (I didn't spend much time, but
it was an eventmachine compile problem).

Karl, you have run into a bug in the ruby::default recipe. It needs an else
clause around line 43:

extra_packages = case node[:platform]
...
else

end

Also, I think you will be able to build eventmachine at least, but you'll
need to completely gnu-ify: gnu make (possibly aliased as make somehow),
gcc, so on. Works for me on a Solaris 9 box I have access to.

HTH,

Hi Karl,

You may need to re-configure rubygems to handle/honor proxy servers.

for example in root's /root/.gemrc

gem: --http-proxy http://1.2.3.4:3128

replace 1.2.34 with your actual ip/port of your proxy server.

Karl,Basically what I mean by "gnuified" is to have the GNU equivalents for
everything. So, you'll want to make sure you have gnu make, gcc, gnu libc,
and probably more. From what I can glean from doing an ldd on my install of
EventMachine, you'll also need libstdc++ and libiconv. I might have also
needed to modify $PATH so ginstall would be found.

Karl,does it succeed when you re-run chef, like in the comments on that
ticket? I think runit should be fine, since Solaris is standard System V
Revision 4 init system, but have yet to try it myself.
