I was getting this error while installing PE8 on Ubuntu 14.04
!! ERROR: The puppet master service failed to start within 120 seconds; unable to proceed*
Install the below package before you run the puppet installer:
apt-get install zlib1g-dev build-essential libssl-dev libreadline-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev python-software-properties
This fixed the issue for me and PE8 got installed successfully.
