Puppet fails on aws instance using ruby19 yum install

[Robert Logan]

I've been trying to use the ruby19 and rubygems19 packages from amazons yum repo but cant get around this issue:

[root@ip-10-234-225-44 ~]# puppetd --test
/usr/share/rubygems1.9/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': cannot load such file -- puppet/application/agent (LoadError)
        from /usr/share/rubygems1.9/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
        from /usr/sbin/puppetd:3:in `<main>'

The above occurs using the amazon repo puppet install (2.7.23) at time of writing, and the puppetlabs yum repo below is the same ..

[root@ip-10-234-225-44 ~]# puppet agent --test
/usr/share/rubygems1.9/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': cannot load such file -- puppet/util/command_line (LoadError)
        from /usr/share/rubygems1.9/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
        from /usr/bin/puppet:3:in `<main>'


[root@ip-10-234-225-44 ~]# ruby --version
ruby 1.9.3p448 (2013-06-27 revision 41675) [x86_64-linux]
[root@ip-10-234-225-44 ~]# ruby -e 'puts $:'

/usr/lib64/ruby/1.9/vendor_ruby
/usr/share/rubygems1.9
/usr/share/ruby/1.9

Does anyone have any ideas on this?

It looks like Amazon recently started providing ruby 1.9 vs 1.8 and puppet is expecting 1.8.  I have installed puppet 3.3.2 via the puppetlabs yum repository:

# rpm -q puppet
puppet-3.3.2-1.el6.noarch

# rpm -ql puppet | egrep -i command
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/command.rb
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/type/nagios_command.rb
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/util/command_line
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/util/command_line.rb
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/util/command_line/puppet_option_parser.rb
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/util/command_line/trollop.rb

I am working around this temorarily by editing /usr/bin/puppet and changing the first line to:

#!/usr/bin/ruby1.8

...of course, this requires that you have ruby-1.8 installed.
