ok.. so (roughly) here's what I did to get the puppet client to install on xenserver
Installed ruby from this repo http://centos.karan.org/el5/ruby187/i386/ you need these rpms installed for ruby rpm -qa | grep ruby ruby-libs-1.8.7.299-4.el5.kb ruby-irb-1.8.7.299-4.el5.kb ruby-ri-1.8.7.299-4.el5.kb ruby-1.8.7.299-4.el5.kb ruby-rdoc-1.8.7.299-4.el5.kb run ruby -v to check you have ruby install [user@xenserver ~]# ruby -v ruby 1.8.7 (2010-06-23 patchlevel 299) [i386-linux] installed gem using yum install rubygem-gem2rpm installed puppet using gem install puppet --no-rdoc --no-ri Hope that helps someone else. Thanks to Martin for his help on this..
