In gentoo systems if you try to manage your gems with ebuilds, you can't have json and json_pure installed at the same time because they define some overlapping files. The only problem is, that some of chef's dependencies (like merb) are depending on json_pure, so it's impossible to install chef with portage (without any nasty hacks) while it depends on the json gem.

Gentoo should happily allow both json-pure and json to exist on a system - this seems very broken. You should generally always get both, but prefer the ext compiled version of JSON.

YAJL looks interesting, going to look into this.

The problem is, that both the json and the json_pure gems install the following files:

/usr/bin/edit_json.rb
/usr/bin/prettify_json.rb
/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/bin/edit_json.rb
/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/bin/prettify_json.rb

If I forcefully install both json and json_pure, then uninstall json_pure, it will remove these files and will render the json gem useless too.

YAJL threw me a little and will be revisiting this after release.
