The error you get here is actually a bug in SWIG (http://www.swig.org/). Xapian uses SWIG to generate the wrappers for Ruby. The code SWIG currently uses to convert a parameter when a C/C++ function takes a double doesn't handle a "fixnum" which is larger than MAXINT. I've just applied a fix to SWIG SVN: http://swig.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/swig?view=rev&revision=11320 I'll make sure this fix makes it into the next Xapian release (which will be 1.0.14).
