Ferret startup problem: Ferret::Analysis::Analyzer not found

Hi everyone,

I’m hitting a very basic start-up issue with Ferret.

I did a “gem install ferret” and installed ferret 0.11.5 (mswin32) on my
Windows XP machine. No problems. Then I did a “gem install
acts_as_ferret” and installed acts_as_ferret-0.4.3. Finally I added
‘require ferret’ and ‘require acts_as_ferret’ into my environment.rb.

When I start up Rails 1.2.6, I get the following start-up message; it’s
not finding the constant Ferret::Analysis::Analyzer. This has got to be
a very basic issue - can anyone help?

Thanks,
