Puppet users - Jul 2012 - `require': cannot load such file -- puppet/util/command_line (LoadError)

Hi all
in a VM running openSUSE 12.1 (x86_64)
trying to play with puppet produces this error

# ruby --version
ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30 revision 33570) [x86_64-linux]

# puppet --version
/usr/local/lib64/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'':
cannot load such file -- puppet/util/command_line (LoadError)
        from /usr/local/lib64/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in 
`require''
        from /usr/bin/puppet:3:in `<main>''

don''t know what (or how I''ve stuffed up)
but I cannot find the "puppet/application" dir anywhere
tried zypper remove puppet ( & puppet-server)
and reinstalling,
but still produces same error

any thoughts, ideas, pointers would be helpful...
have googled for this error in google groups

newbie with ruby & puppet
relative newbie with linux
very comp literate otherwise

hmm, I''m neither really familiar with opensuse nor am I very
knowledgeable about ruby, but it strikes me as odd that
custom_require.rb is being used from a rubygems location, even though
puppet is not installed as a gem but via zypper instead.

Make sure there are no gem issues with your ruby installation.

If this does not help, I''d scrutinize environment variables that
pertain
to ruby, such as RUBYLIB. Try the manpages and look through the various
lib locations in your system.

HTH,
Felix

Ok, I found 
/usr/src/puppet/lib/puppet/util/

so how does puppet "know" where to look for .../util/?

can I just "move" .../util/ down two levels alongside the .../lib/
dir?
its obviously NOT finding it now...

I debugged the same error on OS X two weeks ago, so let me try to apply the
knowledge I gained to Opensuse.

The file puppet cannot find is
/usr/lib64/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/puppet/util/command_line.rb, which I was able to
fix by setting RUBYLIB (I''m Ruby newbie too, but in this case I suppose
''/usr/lib64/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8'' would be a good value).

That said, it looks like puppet is installed for Ruby 1.8, and you''re
running Ruby 1.9, so I''m not sure if you can mix Ruby versions like
this. If it doesn''t work, you might try to remove Ruby 1.9 and install
Ruby 1.8 (it should be in the base 12.1 distribution).

from my reading of the doco or source code

It appears puppet tries to replace the custom_require file from ruby, with 
one of its own, which is what it can''t find,
the one in the puppet/util/command_line dir

from my inexperience, I can''t tell weither ( or how ) I should tell
puppet
or ruby where to find it...
logic should tell me which one but I just don''t know enuff about how
either
works to ask the right question to make that decision, yet...
any pointers would be helpful

I know this thread is kinda old, but i had the same issue and maybe someone 
still getting it, so i found a way to still working.


As Gerard said, this comes when puppet is installed for ruby 1.8 and you 
are running 1.9. I tried to update-alternatives and set it to 1.8, but it 
still crashing, reinstall whole ruby, install only 1.8, and still crashing, 
so i directly went to /usr/bin/puppet, and in the first lane:

- #!/usr/bin/ruby1.9.1
+ #!/usr/bin/ruby1.8

Apparently, it works fine, i didn''t get further problems with this.

Sorry if i wrote something wrong.

Cheers
