Hmmm. They failures are related to float/byte encoding as they are occuring because the scoring is wrong. But the float/byte conversion test doesn't seem to be failing. > I don't see anything failing specifically relating to how Similarity > encodes/decodes norms. Is there a test for that?

I guess I should put a comment in test_similarity about that since that is where most people would expect to find such a test. Anyway, since it is passing the error must be occuring somewhere else. I can't think why though as it definitely seems to have something to do with the norms. > PS: I have a Mac Mini that just sits there as a backup in case the > PowerBook has to go into the shop.

I'll probably take a while to get around to it. Anyway, don't spend too much time on this. I think it is better for both of us if you concentrate on Lucy. I've seen a lot of action recently on the commits list. :D Cheers, Dave _______________________________________________ Ferret-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ferret-talk
