[chef] Re: Re: knife ssh cannot load such file -- readline (LoadError)

[Arthur Kalmenson < >]

Thanks AJ. I'm using knife on an Ubuntu machine, so I'm not sure where the readline package is. I've installed chef on my workstation with RVM, so perhaps I'm missing the readline header because of that?

Following this guide: http://assets.en.oreilly.com/1/event/61/oscon2011_tute_chef_19882.htm, I have all the correct libraries installed... Any ideas what the issue might be?

When you built Ruby you didn't have the readline headers installed, so
it didn't link against them.

Rebuild ruby with the readline packages (incl. headers) installed.
