I get this error message from the following code:
require ''rubygems''
require ''ferret''
include Ferret
index = Index::Index.new(:path => ''/tmp/index'')
index << {:title => "Programming Ruby", :content =>
"blah blah blah"}
index << {:title => "Programming Ruby", :content =>
"yada yada yada"}
Yes, gems is installed and ferret is as well. Here''s the exact output:
./ferret.rb:3: uninitialized constant Ferret (NameError)
from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:18:in
`require__''
from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:18:in
`require''
from test_ferret.rb:2
Any ideas what I''m doing wrong? Ruby version 1.8.2
Thanks!
John

Ruby version 1.8.2I think it''s because you''ve called your file ''ferret.rb''. It''s requiring itself.

I changed it in the output I posted because I thought it might lead to confusion, but it never occurred to me that it might be causing problems for ruby itself. Working now...thanks!
