When adding the gem_binary option to the resource, it works like a charm:

gem_package "#{Chef::Config['file_cache_path']}/#{ohaiGem}" do
action :install
version ohaiGemVersion
gem_binary "gem" #Needed to use a gem command line client
notifies :restart, "service[chef-client]"
end

When using the gem_binary option, the gem seems to be installed at
every Chef client run. Since I signal the client to restart after
installing the gem, it is continuously restarting itself:

Not good....

Ringo,

Can you try upgrading rubygems to 1.5.x and see if your problems persist? 1.4.x was out for only a short while before being superseded by 1.5.x.
