Ferret talk - Jul 2007 - Install errors

I''ve been trying to install Ferret on RedHat 7.3, Ruby 1.8 (let me know
if more details would be helpful) using the gem install.  I''ve tried
every version >10 and it installs, but I get errors:

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
In file included from q_filtered_query.c:1:
search.h:683: array size missing in ''comparables''
make: *** [q_filtered_query.o] Error 1
In file included from q_filtered_query.c:1:
search.h:683: array size missing in ''comparables''
(Yes, I get it twice.)

It then goes on to successfully install, but when I go to test in the
Ruby console I get an error:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
''gem_original_require'': no such file to load -- ferret_ext
(LoadError)

Any ideas on what might be going on?  I''ve had it running on Win32
locally, but I can''t get it going on my staging server.

Thanks.

Hi!

Actually your installation has failed, but unfortunately gem doesn''t
notice that the compilation failed and pretends everything is ok.

I guess it has something to do with your build environment on that
machine. What does ''gcc --version'' give you on that box? What
exact Ruby
version do you have? Were you able to install other gems containing
native extensions (i.e., Mongrel, Hpricot, RMagick)?

I successfully installed and have been running Mongrel with no problems.

Anything else I should check?

now *that* is really old ;-) Even old stable Debian Sarge has 3.3.5
(where Ferret compiles, with small tweaks in the Makefile).

I guess a newer version of gcc will solve your problem.
