Problem on Ubuntu Server 15.04 64-bit

[n8gard]

I hooked in the 'wal-e::default' recipe into a cookbook that is successfully configuring PostgreSQL 9.4 on Ubuntu Server 15.04. Output is below. Is this possibly a platform problem or is it possible I've not done something that is required?

Looks like your real problem is:

unable to execute 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc': No such file or directory

This can be helpful:

Can you install those packages, starting with build-essential, bit-by-bit till you get the pip installing? Would be useful knowledge if we need to add package dependencies.

[n8gard]

Excellent. I'll get right on it and keep track of what I do so to reconstruct. Thanks.

[n8gard]

Well, that was fast. This did the trick:

package 'build-essential' do
  action :install
end

I can't say I'm off and running yet, but the knife run completed without errors. I'm surprised I didn't already have something requiring that package, but we have a very minimalist approach and don't install anything unless we know it is required. Now we do. Thanks!

Added build-essential to required packages in #18
