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.

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?
