No such file to load -- ferret

Hi there,

I’m just trying to deploy my app to my vhost, and i’m getting an error
on the phusion passenger page:

no such file to load – ferret

now everything worked fine in development.

DO i need to reinstall the plugin and gem again? if so - would these
be in domain.com/public? or should it be installed at domain.com?

ANy advice would be great!

THank you.

Hello all,

just to elaborate on this:

It’s complaining about ‘’/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/
custom_require.rb’’

Which, after some digging I found:

def require(path) # :nodoc:
gem_original_require path
rescue LoadError => load_error
if load_error.message =~ /\A[Nn]o such file to load – #
{Regexp.escape path}\z/ and
spec = Gem.searcher.find(path) then
Gem.activate(spec.name, false, “= #{spec.version}”)
gem_original_require path
else
raise load_error
end
end

THe error suggests line 31 which is: Gem.activate(spec.name, false,
“= #{spec.version}”)

However this is my 1st deployment so not 100% sure what’s happening
here…

Any ideas?

Thanks

You are missing the ferret gem. Install it if that is possible with your
hosting. Otherwise you could try install ferret as plugin (in
vendor/plugins) or just freeze your rails app, I think the command goes
something like this: rake rails:freeze:gems then upload all that to your
hosting place and try again :slight_smile: Merry Christmass :wink:

When you see that line: no such file to load – XXX it generally means a
gem
is missing. The first thing you might try is do: gem install XXX.
Sometimes
you see no such file to load – XXX/YYY, then you could try gem install
XXX-YYY or gem install XXX_YYY. Of course you have to do it in the
environment which is complaining. In this case your production hosting
provider.

Ah yes… :slight_smile: correct.

I accessed my public area on the host server and ran:

sudo gem install ferret

THis returned with the following:

Building native extensions. This could take a while…
ERROR: Error installing ferret:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/usr/bin/ruby1.8 extconf.rb
extconf.rb:11:in `require’: no such file to load – mkmf (LoadError)

What exactly does this mean and how do I fix it? I do apologise, I’ve
spent all day looking for this, and I’m not sure where to go…

Merry Christmas :slight_smile:

Now you have encountered dependencies :slight_smile: Just do the same thing (gem
install
XXX) for mkmf this time :slight_smile: Or try sudo gem install ferret
–include-dependencies

thanks for the reply,

so - sudo gem install ferret --include-dependencies didn’t work…

what do you mean by: gem install XXX for mkmf

i did try gem install mkmf, but this isn’t a gem…
ERROR: could not find gem mkmf locally or in a repository

Sorry about this…

Nice to hear that :slight_smile: What I use when I get an error is just copy/paste
into
google and read through a few top-most links. In this case I would just
make
a search query for “no such file to load – mysql (MissingSourceFile)”

That’s an excellent site, and that seems to have moved me onto the
next error (!) :slight_smile:

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of

This may be real easy to some, but on my first deployment, this is a
bit over my head… :slight_smile:
