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 how to fix this -- please help!
Thanks,
Geth
