I installed ferret and it cleaned me out!!!
I do the following:

__________________________
# gem install ferret
Need to update 4 gems from http://gems.rubyforge.org
....

Select which gem to install for your platform (i386-linux)
 1. ferret 0.11.4 (ruby)
 2. ferret 0.11.4 (mswin32)
 3. ferret 0.11.3 (ruby)
 4. ferret 0.11.2 (ruby)
 5. Skip this gem
 6. Cancel installation

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

ruby extconf.rb install ferret
can't find header files for ruby.
_________________________________________

Then I try to uninstall and i get the following:
__________________________________________
gem uninstall ferret
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::InstallError)
    Unknown gem ferret-> 0
___________________________________________

Then I try to rake my db and i get errors
____________________________________________

$ rake db:migrate
(in /home/drhenner/eggpad)
rake aborted!
no such file to load -- ferret_ext
____________________________________________

I have no idea what i can do to just uninstall ferret from my system. I
would prefer to have it work but at the very least i don't want it to
stop all future work.  I installed 0.11.4 first and i got the same
problem.  I manually  removed all the files and directories in
ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ferret-0.11.4/

it didnt help at all.

This has to be my worst experience with a rubygem EVER.  Everything
always runs smooth up until now.

What are the ruby header files by the way???
