Title: Chef-solo tutorial

Hi all,

I tried to run Chef Solo in CentOS 5.5.  I followed the installation instruction using rpm installation wiki page:
http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Installation+on+RHEL+and+CentOS+5+with+RPMs

Then followed the chef-solo wiki page:
http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Chef+Solo

The resolver cookbook was downloaded using knife:

Knife cookbook site download resolver

The node.json was created as indicated by the example, and ran:

Chef-solo –j node.json –r resolver-0.8.2.tar.gz

It throws this exception:

I also tried to place the tarball in /var/lib/chef/cookbooks directory, but it shows the same exception.
What am I missing?
