Except that is a different version of Rubygems than you're running
Chef under. I would install the version of Fog that you need in
Omnibus. That's where all gems that you use in a recipe should live.

I guess you could prepend your other gem directories onto $LOAD_PATH,
but that's scary. But I'm scared by the world that is Ruby libraries +
Rubygems.
