Puppet users - Feb 2013 - gem packages installed directory on puppetmaster

What is the right path for ruby gems on puppet master.
 
Scenario:
I have installed hiera couple of months back. So the gem was installed 
under 
 
/opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems/hiera-0.3.0
/opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems/hiera-puppet-0.3.0
 
Later when I updated to new version of hiera then it installed (via gem 
install) under 
 
/opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems/hiera-1.1.1
/opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems/hiera-puppet-1.0.0
 
Puppet was always using the hiera under /opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems/, so 
I was unable to use new features of hiera
 
I have uninstalled hiera-0.3.0 manually using gem
 
 
sudo gem uninstall --install-dir /opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/ hiera

Then Puppet failed to find hiera() function, so its always looking under 
/opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems.  Later I installed hiera using gem and 
explicitly specified to install under /opt/puppet/lib/gems/1.8/gems

Now puppet cannot even find hiera()

err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: 
Could not autoload hiera_include: no such file to load -- 
/opt/puppet/lib/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/parser/functions/hiera_include.rb at 
/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/environments/development/manifests/site.pp:46 on 
node 

Looks like some thing wrong with my gem path or my puppet load path is not. 
How do I come out of this?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards

Sai.

Hi,

I don''t really understand the problem.

Are these not the same base directories? It''s not really clear why one
would work and not the other.

Do you have this file? Or is ruby looking for that?

You may need to fix your RUBYLIB environment. Have you tried
reinstalling the older hiera version.

HTH,
Felix

Felix ,
 
Thanks for your reply.  Please see the below thread. I deleted this post, 
because my title was''nt clear. Not sure how it showed up again. Yes, I
did
removed old hiera and updated new one. Still no use.
