I've never used on Win32, but it's likely to have been discussed on
ferret list: google
site:rubyforge.org/pipermail/ferret-talk "err msg here"
You need Visual C++ 6. Otherwise, install the latest win32 version;
0.10.9 I believe. Or you could wait until I compile a new win32 gem.
I'll do that once I finish fixing some bugs I'm working on right now.
I can't say when that will be.
Cheers,
Dave

Why intalling ferret on a win32 is so odd ?

You need to compile various bits of c code.
Windows does not come with a C compiler, so you need one.
Buying a mac just to use ferret.. not many of us could afford that.

This is the classic example of "You don't know what are you talking about".
No, you cannot get the _same_ hardware for half a price. You can get
hardware that is cheeper, but it will be not the same.

No, desire to work on polished UNIX system has nothing to do
with trying "to identify with the intellectual elite".
Yes it is possible to compile stuff on windows, but it is
much much easier on any unix/linux distribution.

Not sure what illusion company illegally preinstaling OS X on their computers is
trying to challenge.

solutions on the web even if it's kind of hard to do it.

You can get it to work but it takes a bit of effort & reading the
documentation.
You could try sphinx if its bugging you.

I had one developer who loved his windows & got ferret running under
cygwin - probably not for the faint hearted or those lacking in patience
& spare time.
I used to develop rail apps on a vista machine, but everything ran so
slowly [in 2GB of RAM] it drove me nuts - I tried ubuntu & decided a
switch was in order - its not as nice a mac & won't run itunes, but it's
in my price range.
