I stuck in search element problem. I am trying to install ferret on my window 7. But tried a lot but couldn't succeed.

I ran following command to install the ferret gem.

gem install ferret gem install ferret --version (all versions) gem install ferret -v 0.11.5 gem install ferret -v 0.11.6 gem install ferret -v 0.11.8.4 gem install ferret -v=0.11.6 --platform mswin32

I also changed the devkit, got a updated kit and change requisite path in fstub

But couldn't succeed. Always it gives me following error ERROR: Error installing ferret:         ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

        c:/RailsInstaller/Ruby1.9.2/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb creating Makefile

make c:/RailsInstaller/Ruby1.9.2/bin/ruby -e "puts 'EXPORTS', 'Init_ferret_ext'" > f erret_ext-i386-mingw32.def . . . . . . ferret.c:297:22: error: 'struct RString' has no member named 'len' make: *** [ferret.o] Error 1

Gem files will remain installed in c:/RailsInstaller/Ruby1.9.2/lib/ruby/gems/1.9 .1/gems/ferret-0.11.6 for inspection. Results logged to c:/RailsInstaller/Ruby1.9.2/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/ferret-0. 11.6/ext/gem_make.out

Please help me.

Any help or suggestion is appreciable.

Thanks Amir
