Puppet users - Oct 2007 - ruby error on macosx

I don''t manage any macosx machines but I do run puppet standalone to
check
syntax etc.
I''ve been getting the following error:

Could not autoload
"/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/parser/ast/resourceoverride.rb":
superclass mismatch for class ResourceOverride

specifically small test pp files still work, though I''ve found when I
use
parseonly it doesn''t catch any syntax errors it always thinks they are
ok.

This is usually a load order problem, usually caused by not  
explicitly loading the base class or something.

I just looked at the current code (which has been changed a bit) and  
it should work in the next release.

For now, can you check that file and make sure it''s loading its base  
class (''puppet/parser/ast/resource'').  If so...  I guess we
have to
find where else the class is mentioned, but I couldn''t find anywhere  
else.

Apparently the current version always exits 0.  It probably won''t if  
you use puppet instead of puppetmasterd, but I haven''t verified that.
