Hi Ashu,

configuring and using the different full text search engines (ferret,
shinx, xapian, solr…) on windows is a real pain…
if need it on your win XP only for development purpose, you should
consider switching to a linux development platform,
or you can use our virtual development environment for Ruby on Rails,
“VirtualRails” : it is delivered with sphinx up and running out of the
box.

hope it will help
