Ferret talk - Sep 2006 - strange acts_as_ferret bug in my enviorment

Bouncing this to the list since mail to the original sender doesn''t
seem
to get through - hope he reads here...

short intro to the problem - SQL queries get localized ('',''
instead of
''.'' as decimal separator) when having aaf in vendor/plugins...

strange, I once had the same problem with strange Javascript errors,
where some duration of an effect had a '','' instead of a
''.''. I solved
this by explicitly setting 
ENV[''LC_NUMERIC''] = ''en_US.UTF-8''
in environment.rb

however I doubt acts_as_ferret is the problem, it might be Ferret in
general. to check this, you could just 
require ''ferret'' 
in environment.rb, with aaf removed from vendor/plugins.

Ferret indeed does something with locales, it at least looks at the
environment to determine what analyzer to use...

What does your system environment look like, i.e. what gives calling
`locale` in a terminal as the user your server runs with ?


cheers,
