[Puppet Users] What the?? (gem install puppet not working) sorta... read on...

2011-10-29 Thread Peter Berghold
Hi folks,

In the past when I've wanted to install puppet to a system Ive just done a
gem install puppet facter' and it has workd.

After runing the gem install I tried running puppetd and was told not
found.  OK, so I started to dig and discovered that puppetd was indeed
installed on the system, but in the directory /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin
directory along with facter and all the other puppet friends.

A quick round of symlinks and I was back in business.

This was on a debian (squeeze) system.

SO for all those that might run into what I did, I've blazed the trail...

This was a decision the Debian team made about how gems would be
deployed on Squeeze and maybe Etch (I think it changed later but when I
am not sure).

Some notes about it in this thread:
