[chef] stompserver not installed by running bootstrap-0.7.8

[Stephen Bannasch < >]

I'm installing chef on a centos 5.3 system but I am NOT using 
packages for anything ruby related.

When I got to this step:

sudo chef-solo -c solo.rb -j chef.json -r 
http://s3.amazonaws.com/chef-solo/bootstrap-0.7.8.tar.gz

it made it through installing and starting couchdb but dies here:

[Fri, 21 Aug 2009 13:20:42 -0400] ERROR: gem_package[stompserver] 
(/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/chef-0.7.8/lib/chef/recipe.rb line 
191) had an error:
No such file or directory - gem list --local stompserver

FYI: here's the full trace and the gems installed, 
http://gist.github.com/172488

I just started looking at the code and here's the default recipe for 
stompserver from bootstrap-0.7.8

  if platform?("centos","redhat") and dist_only?
    package "rubygem-stompserver"

    service "stompserver" do
      supports [ :restart, :reload, :status ]
      action [ :enable, :start ]
    end

    return
  end

  include_recipe "runit"

  gem_package "stompserver" do
    action :install
  end

  runit_service "stompserver"

Is the problem related to the fact that I am NOT using packages to 
install ruby and gems?

If so is there a way to run this so chef uses Ruby to install gems?

Here's how I setup the system:

After getting git, ruby, and rubygems working I did this:

  sudo gem sources -a http://gems.github.com
  sudo gem source -a http://gems.opscode.com/

  sudo gem install rake rspec cucumber webrat merb-core roman-merb_cucumber
  sudo gem install mixlib-config mixlib-log mixlib-cli
  sudo gem install ohai chef merb-slices

  cat ~/solo.rb
  file_cache_path "/tmp/chef-solo"
  cookbook_path "/tmp/chef-solo/cookbooks"

  cat ~/chef.json
  { "recipes": "chef::server" }

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