[chef] Re: Ohai isn't able to find mxlib-config library

[Daniel DeLeo < >]

Ohai!
When you install a ruby gem, it generates an executable file that adds
a 'require "rubygems"' to the original version. IIRC, we no longer
require rubygems in the version of ohai in the tree, but instead rely
on the gem install process to do this. So you should have a copy of
the ohai command elsewhere (depends on your rubygems config) that will
work.

The error you get running chef-solo has a different cause, usually you
don't have the host file setup with the FQDN. Does 'hostname -f'
return the FQDN of this box?

HTH,
Dan DeLeo
