Two questions for my fellow chef’s…  

 

1.        Has anyone used Ruby 1.9.3-pxxx ?   We have a requirement of at least 1.9.2-p290.

2.      Also, in compiling ruby from source, I find a lot of conflicting information on the web.   What do I actually need to support Chef Server and Chef clients?

 

Currently, I am running a mix of SuSe 10, 11 and CentOS 5.x, 6.x and some RedHat 5.x.   I am concentrating on CentOS 5.x and 6.x.   I found the following on web and am trying it.   However, I don’t want to discover any gotchas’ down the road.  

 

I have tried the RBEL repo version of Ruby-1.9.2-p290 RPM but it doesn’t install correctly.   I have compiled Ruby-1.9.2-p290 from source several times and it seems to work, but, I’ve been bitten before.

 

Anyone have any recommendations.  Remember, I have to run at least 1.9.2-p290.
