Re: error of "no such file to load -- ferret_ext"

Excerpts from Daniel Kehoe's message of Sat Dec 30 00:02:56 -0800 2006:

I saw this message when "gem install" was unable to compile the C part
of ferret. RubyGems is not very good about handling errors, and will
happily install the gem despite them.

Make sure you have gcc, make, etc. installed, remove and re-install the
gem, and pay close attention to any error messages that might indicate
compilation problems.
