Hi I have a small number of gems I install on my puppet server, and manage to get them compiled and they pick up my non standard environment and install OK
However, I need to send some options to the mysql gem to get it to compile. Hence I do it by hand, which is now biting, as well as not the right way to do it in puppet. I'm also not comfortable having to install a C compiler on servers I want to install gems on What are my options in compiling the gem in puppet? I have come up with: 1) Pre-set the environment so that when I run my puppet client from a wrapper script, I set my compile options there. I'm not too keen on this for one offs, but can live with it 2) Trying to pre-compile the gem and install it. Since I have no idea what I am doing, I saw this - https://github.com/frsyuki/gem-compile - which implies using my package provider (RPM, Solaris pkg) to install the gem, and not gem itself. Does anyone do this & have any tips for the hapless & clueless rubygem newbie? Thanks John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
