search for: term_buff

I haven''t dug into this yet, but wanted to report it. I''ve built an index with Java Lucene (1.9, from svn trunk) and then trying to search it with Ferret and getting this: /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/ferret/index/term_buffer.rb:31:in `read'': undefined method `name'' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/ferret/index/ segment_term_enum.rb:90:in `next?'' from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/ferret/index/ segment_term_enum.rb:118:in `scan_to''...

Hi all, Having problems trying to get Ferret to read an index generated by Lucene. Am I right in thinking Ferret should be able to read a Lucene generated index no problem? Using the code snippets detailed in http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/64099#new Any advice gratefully received. Many Thanks, Steven -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I was trying to install ferret 0.9.2 on solaris (SunOS 5.8) which does not have a sys/dir.h nix_io.c:5:21: sys/dir.h: No such file or directory make: *** [nix_io.o] Error 1 I couldn''t find an obvious way around this... any suggestions?
