Usually you install a platform-dependant gem like this:
gem install sys-proctable -q --no-rdoc --no-ri -v "0.9.3" --platform mswin32
How do I pass the --platform parameter with chef_gem?

Do you need to specify a platform for `chef gem`? – MC2DX Nov 12 '15 at 17:13

Pretty sure I answered you on IRC, but for the future you would use options '--platform mswin32'. That said, binary gems are flaky at best so expect to run into complications eventually.

Not sure if you did on IRC, but thank you anyway. As a form of feedback,(in addition to speaking about the difficulties the users are having with the documentation/manual, stuff that I see over most forums and a couple of conversations we had with you guys earlier this year at AWS Summit LNDN) that would be something I would expect from the documentation. One of the most pleasant documentation implementation was http://php.net. Loads of examples, with user feedback on how to avoid certain tricky cases or short howto's. – Iulian Nov 17 '15 at 02:26

You say "you guys" in a way that makes me think you think I work for Chef, I do not. – coderanger Nov 17 '15 at 03:36
