Hi

I'm getting the following error when starting chef-expander. Can you help?

   Hmm, what's the output of gem env? Can you try upgrading RubyGems?

   I encountered the exact same problem installing chef-0.10 on ubuntu 10.04

   Ugh...is this still happening with RubyGems 1.8.12?

   Also, if you try installing Ruby separately via RVM, does it happen?

   • debian 6.0.3
   • chef 0.10.8 2012-01-16_14:30:47.65604 from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in gem_original_require' 2012-01-16_14:30:47.65608 from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:inrequire'

   any other ideas ?

   The only way this could happen is if rubygems was half upgraded. Have you installed your own version of rubygems?

   Do other ruby programs that require gems work?
