Tried using the -m option to chef-server and it did not help:

What configuration entries are necessary for chef to find those entries listed

in the init.rb require statements?

There must be something that's pointing ruby gems in the wrong direction when looking for the libraries.

Are you using rvm or rbenv? Does your `env` contain anything ruby/gem related? Does `gem env` include the paths you expect it to?
