Hi All, I got one problem in the installation of ferret.I am using rails 2.0.2 and IDE is radrails. When I am going to install ferret, it is showing one error. i.e failed to building gem native extension. And D:/Program Files/ruby/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb install ferret D:/Program is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I am new to ROR. But I want to use the ferret. Please help me in this issue. Thank you, srinivas rao.pala ---

Looks like installing your ruby into a location without spaces in the path might help.
