I have found very little information about this problem on the net, so i thought someone here might be able to help me.
I am running mac os x 10.4 on a powerbook and have installed ruby 1.8.6 and was trying to get ferret to work, without any success. Here is exactly what i did and what happened: $ sudo gem install ferret Updating metadata for 125 gems from http://gems.rubyforge.org ............................................................................ ................................................. complete Building native extensions. This could take a while... Successfully installed ferret-0.11.6 1 gem installed Installing ri documentation for ferret-0.11.6... Installing RDoc documentation for ferret-0.11.6... $ ruby ferret_test.rb /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ferret-0.11.6/lib/ferret_ext.bundle: Failed to load /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ferret-0.11.6/lib/ferret_ext.bundle (LoadError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ferret-0.11.6/lib/ferret.rb:25 from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:32:in `gem_original_require' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:32:in `require' from ferret_test.rb:2 The ferret_test.rb includes the following lines: require 'rubygems' require 'ferret' include Ferret The ferret_ext.bundle file does exist but i am guessing it might not have been properly compiled. I opened it afterwards and it contains some error message that seem to not belong there. I do have gcc (4.0.1) and make etc. installed. The Powerbook is obviously not an intel mac but in the .bundle-file i found this, i am not sure if that helps to find out what the problem is: *ERROR: POSH double precision floating point serialization failed. Please report this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] OS:..............MacOS X CPU:.............Intel 386+ endian:..........little ptr size:........32-bits 64-bit ints......yes floating point...enabled compiler.........Gnu GCC Please help!
