Thanks all.

I looked at the repo that had been set up by my cosysadmin (who is now at a new company) and I see that there is a Rakefile and such configured. I went and installed rake, confirmed it was pointing to the ruby1.9 version, and tried doing rake install. I get back this error, which Googling did me no favors for:

:~/svn/OPS/chef-repo$ rake install --trace

rake aborted!

cannot load such file -- mixlib/authentication/signedheaderauth

I'm going to try to clone the chef repo mentioned in the first part of this thread and switch to using my Hosted Chef sandbox (knife-block is very handy for testing like this) and seeing if the error persists, but I don't want to make a lot of changes to the existing repo until I know why it's set up the way it's set up.

And of course, this can be installed with Rubygems:

$ gem install knife-essentials
