There are no Ruby bindings at present. The core C code is stable and "complete" (for some value of "complete" -- i.e. it works). But to date there are only Perl bindings. I posted about this on the Ferret list awhile back, inviting Ruby developers to come have a look and help jump-start the Ruby implemenation. I realize your project has some immediate needs; please also consider hanging around and helping us define the Ruby implementation.
