厨师红宝石宝石安装程序失败

Question

I am trying to setup cassandra on an CentOS VM via chef and it fails with the error below. I have tried clearing out bundle caches to no avail. The recipe works on another machine but a key difference is that I ran other recipes on that machine beforehand so I suspect I am missing a chef dependency (which is why I haven't tried just fixing the packages directly). I am also terribly new to ruby so sorry if this is an obvious question.

Machine config

• Chef: 11.4.0

Answer 1

The compiler failed to generate an executable file. (RuntimeError)
You have to install development tools first.

The above error makes me believe you need to install ruby-dev and gcc packages on your CentOS. On my ubuntu 10.04, I have installed the packages below: ruby1.9.1-dev and gcc-4.4 .

Could you try installing similar packages on CentOS and then re-running chef?
