Hello. I''m trying to use the ''acts_as_ferret'' gem with Rails. Rails: 1.1.4 and 1.2.3 OS: WinXP I''ve installed both Ferret and the plugin using Ruby Gems: C:\>gem install ferret Successfully installed ferret-0.11.4-mswin32 Installing ri documentation for ferret-0.11.4-mswin32... Installing RDoc documentation for ferret-0.11.4-mswin32... C:\>gem install

Just a quick note for future reference - at least for me, ferret won''t work on Ruby 1.8.4. gem install ferret Successfully installed ferret-0.11.4-mswin32 ruby -v ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-mswin32] irb irb(main):001:0> require ''ferret'' A windows error message box appears - ruby.exe - Entry Point Not Found The procedure entry point rb_w32_write could not be

Gents, I installed ferret successfully in my MacOS (rails development) using the gem install. I did some tests and everything worked fine. Then I tried to install it on the same way on my production environment at TextDrive? running OpenSolaris? (container). This time ''gem install ferret'' seems to be completed: [92140-AA:~/web/labs/blogblogs/trunk] root# gem install ferret

Upon opening an existing index after upgrading to the 0.9.2 ferret gem I get the following error: undefined symbol: mtde_create. Here''s an irb transcript which recreates the error: irb(main):011:0> index = Index::Index.new({:path => ''/home/srackham/bin/ff_index''}) => #<Ferret::Index::Index:0xb7be7590> irb(main):012:0>

Hi, I''m wondering how to use the ''vendor'' directory in a Rails app. I know that you can put plugins and engines into the ''vendor/plugins'' directory and that svn:externals can be used for that, but I was wondering how & where I put a 3rd party library? My specific case is the pdf-writer code, which I''d rather have inside my app than as a

Hi, David and everyone, I''ve had Ferret running fine in a production Rails application for a while now. I haven''t updated Ferret or really looked at the Ferret-related code since probably January, but I recently started thinking about trying out the latest version (we were using 0.3.2, I think). I got the latest (0.9.4) and have noticed things break. In particular, I used to

I was having some odd results when working with acts_as_ferret (current trunk), so I decided to test with the current version of ferret to see if I encountered the same problem. I did. Here are the details: installed ferret 0.10.10 on debian sarge with ''sudo gem install ferret'' (btw, same results on OSX) opened up an irb session: irb(main):001:0> require

Hi all, Sorry if this is answered somewhere -- I am new to ruby and to linux, and can''t figure it out: When I try to install ferret (see below), I get ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError). Same thing happens for any version I pick from th list. I am using: gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4) ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i486-linux] gem 0.9.4 No idea

I''m getting a segmentation fault on a large index (15GB). I''m running ferret 0.11.4 on OpenSuSE 10.2 with ruby 1.8.6. The segmentation fault appeared after I optimized the index, see further below for the error message I got before that. Ferret works perfectly on other (smaller) indexes. Is this a known issue, and if so, is there a workaround? --------------------- after

There is serious memory leak bug in ferret. I''m having this error on TextDrive Container (aka. Joyent Accelerators) OpenSolaris with Ferret 0.11.4 It happens while searching for some terms with accented or special characters. This makes ferret to allocate lots of memory (usually reaching 3+ GB) and failing if another query like this is executed. Any ideas on that, could this be locale

Hi, I just installed via script/plugin from the stable svn tag. (Revision 54) I''m running Rails 1.1.2 and have Ferret 0.9.3 (with C extensions. no compilation problems) I put together a simple model to test it and I''m getting a segfault. The model: class Report < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :fields => [:title, :name] end $ script/console Loading development

Hi, I''m having trouble with ferret and AAF blowing up with a NoMemoryError. Sometimes when I add documents inside my rails app. Ferret starts consuming huge amounts of memory. I''m on a machine with 2GB of memory and it still runs out of memory. Sometimes I''m able to run MyObject.rebuild_index and the memory doesn''t move up at all. However, sometimes it

I''m struggling to get switchtower working, and from other posts about it I know it has something to do with ruby binding to open ssl.

I made the mistake of trying to upgrade to 1.8.4 from 1.8.2 and had intended to upgrade to rails 1.1. I have now completely borked my ruby gems installation. After installing ruby I get the following error when trying to execute gem: /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require__'': no such file to load -- zlib (LoadError) from

I may have run across a bug in Ferret: if throws a segmentation fault when I try to create a Sort object using the default fields (SCORE and DOC_ID), but setting reverse to true. Here''s the minimal example: #!/usr/bin/env ruby require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' Ferret::Search::Sort.new Ferret::Search::Sort.new( [

Hi there, Has anyone tried acts_as_ferret with Edge Rails and Mongrel? When I install the plugin to a project that has Edge Rails frozen, and the Mongrel gem installed, I can''t start the server. There''s no error, it just doesn''t start. I''ve used acts_as_ferret in the past with WEBrick, and stable Rails releases without a hitch. If I remove the

Hi new version of ferret and acts as ferret have sorted out the scary glibc *** linked list pointer errors, thank god! New version are good but some searches are still not working. It is mostly the stop words ones. For example the "For Sale/Free/Swap" fails but works when "for" is stripped out. I have read all the recent posts regarding this issue and failed to get it to
