Sean,

I've not been able to replicate this issue at all. It worked
successfully for me.

Could you try the following steps/provide some info to help us diagnose
if there is a general issue.

First just ensure everything is fresh:
1. `yum update -y`
2. Delete your old build and log directories, or use a fresh directory.

Run BoxGrinder again with --trace to see if it still fails (just the
basic build is enough).

If it *does* fail again, can you please provide the following info:
1. `gem list -d boxgrinder`
2. `rpm -q rubygem-boxgrinder-build rubygem-boxgrinder-core`
3. How did you get to root? By su, su -, sudo -i?
4. Upload log/boxgrinder.log to gist or fpaste.

Many thanks!

Marc
