[chef] Installing on Windows

[< >]

Hi Folks,
I am trying to get Chef client working on windows.  It's definitely not easy
but if it's doable, then I am going to do it ;-)

My environment looks like:
ruby 1.8.7 patchlevel 249
gem 1.3.7

I had to install a couple of gems manually (windows-pr and another that slips
the mind right now) but now I am stuck trying to bootstrap. They key issue
appears to be popen4 (full command that I ran below):
`popen4': uninitialized constant Fcntl::F_SETFD (NameError)

Can anyone point me in the right direction?  I tried gem install popen4 and
that didn't help.

Thanks!
Landon

Here is the full command and stack trace that I am using:
chef-solo -c solo.rb -j chef.json -r
