Mani, 

There are earlier threads on this topic on the mailing list. I'm hoping to have new packages up before the weekend which may or may not resolve the problem. rubiojr has also been working on this problem, but I don't think he has 32 bit packages -- which I believe are the source (the segfaults only occur on 32 bit sytems). mkent also did some yum work, which will be included in the next round of rpms, and is included in the 64 bit rpms on rbel, I think. 

I have been slack in getting these updated because I wanted to do it in an automated fashion, rather than by hand. I used the rpmbuild cookbook and heavily modified it for the purpose of building all of the chef-related packages on a target architecture/distribution. Essentially using Chef to build Chef, as opposed to something like Koji or mock. 

Please note that if you are able to use a 64 bit system, I'm confident both the rpm.aegisco.com repo and the rbel repo packages will work. The rbel packages are newer than the ones in aegisco currently.

Thanks for your reply James, its 32 bit system.

I've installed through this yum install commands

yum install ruby-1.8.7.334-2.el5 ruby-devel-1.8.7.334-2.el5 ruby-ri-1.8.7.334-2.el5 ruby-rdoc-1.8.7.334-2.el5

Mani,

Is this a 32 bit or 64 bit system? What repo did you install the Ruby 1.8.7 RPM from?

Thanks,

James
