Error running puppet

I've just installed puppet 3.8.4 on OSX 10.5.5. When running puppet --version from the command line to check the installation I get the following error:

macbook-MBP:~ richard$ puppet --version
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _rb_ary_new_from_values
  Referenced from: /Users/richard/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.2@global/gems/psych-2.0.15/lib/psych.bundle
  Expected in: flat namespace

Any ideas why this is happening?

Solution

  • Puppet 3.x has no support for Ruby 2.2.

    You will have to either

    • try and install Ruby 2.1
    • try and install Puppet 4

    Puppet 4 has limited compatibility with 3, so going for an alternate Ruby will likely be easier, depending on your existing infrastructure.
