Ferret talk - Oct 2007 - Help Installing Ferret Gem on Media Temple Grid Server

It seems that I''ve successfully installed the ferret gem on my Media
Temple
Grid Server [ ferret 0.11.4 (ruby) ]  but now my application won''t
start and
gives me this error in my mongrel.log

/home/25280/data/rubygems/gems/gems/ferret- 0.11.4/lib/ferret_ext.so:
libruby1.8.so.1.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
- /home/25280/data/rubygems/gems /gems/ferret-0.11.4/lib/ferret_ext.so
(LoadError)


It looks like this is a shared libraries problem, but I''ve tried doing
some LD_LIBRARY_PATH= with no luck.

My local install of ruby is here //data/rubygems/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8 (i
think) but I can''t even seem to find the libruby1.8.so.1.8 file.

I''m really having a tough time and would appreciate any help. Please be
explicit with any assistance as I''m still a student of all this
goodness.

Hey ..

the gem hasn''t been installed successfully. Most
probably you don''t have a compiler installed.

try to install the ferret gem manually and see if
it succeeds. Post the log here, if you see any
error.
