Rails - Jan 2007 - Using acts_as_ferret outside Rails?

I''m using the acts_as_ferret plugin successfully in a Rails application
but I also need to be able to use it (and ActiveRecord) outside of
Rails. Before I added the acts_as_ferret to the model I was able to use
ActiveRecord outside of Rails, but with acts_as_ferret it fails as
follows:

$ ruby runner.rb development

/opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`gem_original_require'': no such file to load -- acts_as_ferret
(MissingSourceFile)
        from
/opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require''
        from
/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1.5618/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:489:in
`require''
        from
/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1.5618/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:337:in
`new_constants_in''
        from
/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1.5618/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:489:in
`require''
        from spider.rb:7
        from
/opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`gem_original_require''
        from
/opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require''
        from
/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1.5618/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:489:in
`require''
        from
/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1.5618/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:337:in
`new_constants_in''
        from
/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1.5618/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:489:in
`require''
        from components/runner.rb:8

I guess that this is something to do with me not including all of the
correct files but I''m having problems working out how. Is there a
''proper'' way of using ActiveRecord outside of Rails (using 1.2
RC2)?
Currently I''m using the code sample from the Rails recipes book.

Cheers,

Ben

To reply to my own post, I fixed the problem by following the
guidelines below to create a rake task instead of hacking in the Rails
framework via includes.
