This is a follow-on to this question. I'm trying to use Ansible to provision a Vagrant VM. The VM is running CentOS 6.4. I'm using the following (abbreviated) ansible playbook:
- hosts: default vars: home: '/home/vagrant' curl_version: '7_19_7' curl_url: 'https://github.com/bagder/curl/archive/curl-{{ curl_version }}.tar.gz' curl_dir: '{{ home }}/curl-curl-{{ curl_version }}' # user: vagrant remote_user: vagrant sudo: yes tasks: - name: Ensure required packages and installed and up to date - pt1 yum: pkg={{ item }} state=present with_items: - make - gcc - etc... # Lots more yum tasks in here - name: Ensure CURL source downloaded get_url: url={{ curl_url }} dest=/home/vagrant/curl-{{ curl_version }}.tar - name: Extract CURL source command: tar -zxf {{ home }}/curl-{{ curl_version }}.tar creates={{ curl_dir }} - name: Copy ssh patch over copy: src=./files/ssh.c.patch dest={{ home }}/ssh.c.patch - name: Patch CURL with openssl shell: patch -t {{ curl_dir }}/lib/ssh.c {{ home }}/ssh.c.patch chdir={{ curl_dir }}/lib when: path_file_result.changed - name: Build CURL with openssl command: 'chdir={{ curl_dir }} "{{ item }}"' with_items: - ./buildconf - ./configure --with-gssapi --with-libidn --with-libssh2 --prefix=/usr --without-nss - make - make install - ldconfig Vagrant is working fine and the Ansible playbook runs successfully up to the last task 'Build CURL with openssl' - which fails, like so:

I presume this is because it's trying to run that whole string like it was a single command?
If I change it to use shell instead of command, I get this instead:
failed: [default] => (item=./configure --with-gssapi --with-libidn --with-libssh2 --prefix=/usr --without-nss) => {"changed": true, "cmd": " \"./configure --with-gssapi --with-libidn --with-libssh2 --prefix=/usr --without-nss\" ", "delta": "0:00:00.001171", "end": "2014-02-07 02:31:34.862373", "item": "./configure --with-gssapi --with-libidn --with-libssh2 --prefix=/usr --without-nss", "rc": 127, "start": "2014-02-07 02:31:34.861202"} stderr: /bin/sh: ./configure --with-gssapi --with-libidn --with-libssh2 --prefix=/usr --without-nss: No such file or directory I've verified that all the tasks up to that point work, and the files are downloaded and extracted to the expected places and the patch works (see here).
After the task fails (or if you comment it out), if you SSH into the VM that's being configured, and run all the same build steps yourself - using the exact values from the playbook, it works.
I'm still pretty new to Ansible and I'm not sure why this isn't working? What am I doing wrong? Is there some way to format or quote that configure command differently so it gets interpreted properly, if that's the issue? Should I be using raw for this? Or something else?
