<internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:in `require': no such file to load -- guestfs (LoadError)

Hi All,

I am new to Boxgrinder and I need your help.
I am facing an issue when trying to run the boxgrinder build.

On my Fedora 14 machine (though I have the same error on my other 2 machines having Ubuntu 10.10 and Redhat Linux 5 also) I have installed

1. Ruby ->  ruby 1.9.2p0
2. gem -> 1.3.7
3. BoxGrinder Build -> 0.6.3

I have created an appliances folder and kept an appliancedefinition file (for each of the machine with the corresponding OS name)

When I run the command to run boxgrinder build, I am getting the following error. (This is happening on all the machines I have)
I have tried to google and follow the suggestions in the web, but this issue still persisits.

<internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:in `require': no such file to load -- guestfs (LoadError)
        from <internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:in `require'

Please let me know how to solve this!

Thanks and Warm Regards,

Praveen Antony Felix

Hi,

You don't have ruby-libguestfs bindings installed.

To install BoxGridner Build you need to follow preparing own environement wiki page. This describes the process in details. Preferred way to install BoxGrinder Build is to use RPM, as described in earlier blog post.

After your install BoxGrinder repository, just run:

yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install rubygem-boxgrinder-*

to install BG with all plugins.

Hi Marek,

Thanks a ton for the help!
It worked for me.

What I did on a fresh fedora 14 machine was :

curl http://repo.boxgrinder.org/boxgrinder/boxgrinder.repo > /etc/yum.repos.d/boxgrinder.repo

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/boxgrinder.conf

[boxgrinder]
name=BoxGrinder repo - $basearch
baseurl=http://repo.boxgrinder.org/boxgrinder/packages/fedora/14/RPMS/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

[boxgrinder-noarch]
name=BoxGrinder repo - noarch
baseurl=http://repo.boxgrinder.org/boxgrinder/packages/fedora/14/RPMS/noarch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install rubygem-boxgrinder-*

And I am all set!

Once again thanks a lot for your time and suggestion.

Warm Regards,
