Vagrant can t require log4r

chef-infra, ubuntu-12.04, vagrant

Solution

Your Vagrant seems to use Chef's embedded ruby. I guess you installed Vagrant from Ubuntu's repository?

Download the official Debian/Ubuntu package from the downloads page, and install it from command line using:

sudo dpkg -i vagrant_*.deb

(Synaptic sometimes seems to try to pull down things from distro's repos when just double-clicking a .deb)

Problem

I m trying to follow chef quickstart tutorial, I m doing it on a Ubuntu 12.04 VM. I ve created the git, cookbook... And I m at the point I m supposed to start vagrant for attaching the node. But even while freshly installed vagrant, I get this error: ``` ~/chef-repo$ vagrant up --no-color /opt/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in 'require': cannot load such file -- log4r (LoadError) from /opt/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in 'require' from /usr/bin/vagrant:2:in '<main>' ``` I tried to apt-get remove vagrant, it show that a package log4r will become useless. Even after reinstallation it give me the error. I don t know what I made wrong, and have no idea on how to solve this. EDIT: If I try with advanced setup, I get stuck at chef installation via gem: ``` ~$ gem install chef ERROR: Loading command: install (LoadError) cannot load such file -- zlib ERROR: While executing gem ... (NameError) uninitialized constant Gem::Command::InstallCommand ```
