Hang on a second... You shouldn't be doing any reinstalling of software... Ruby 1.8 comes with OS X. Ruby 1.9 is unsupported by Puppet as James said. I don't believe you need *any* extra gems on top of a base OS X install to run puppetmasterd under webrick (the default getting started scenario) If you've been messing around with your Ruby install, you want to ensure on 10.5/6 that these symlinks are still there. nigelk$ ls -lad /usr/lib/ruby /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 76 Feb 2 15:56 /usr/lib/ruby -> ../../System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/Current/usr/lib/ruby lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 47 Feb 2 15:56 /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby -> ../../../../../../../../../../Library/Ruby/Site There are a good number of Ruby installs around for OS X that mess up these symlinks. If you really want to just try getting started with Puppet, can I suggest MacPorts? We have the latest puppet and facter available as Ports, and it's a completely self-contained setup, where you can uninstall the ports once you're satisfied things work the way you expect. We do not have a good getting started guide for running puppetmasterd on OS X.
