Ruby-services -- unable to start fastri service

I have just done a complete new installation of ruby-services. I have
all the required gems.

I have installed the fastri service as well as the gem service.

However, I cannot start the fastri service.

This is the response I get:

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>fastrictl -s
C:/ruby/bin/fastrictl.rb:68:in `start’: The service did not respond to
the start or control request in a timely fashion.
(Win32::ServiceError)
from C:/ruby/bin/fastrictl.rb:68

I have no problem with the gem service.

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>gemctl -s
One moment, start pending
Gem Server service started

I am running fastri 0.3.0 and it was installed from the tarball.

Any assistance in resolving this problem is appreciated.

Thank you

I don’t really know anything about ruby-services (or win32 for the
matter),
but maybe I can help you with FastRI’s part. If fastri-server -b is
indexing
the stdlib/your gems correctly, you can also use qri which works very
much
like fri, the only difference being that it accesses the local index
directly
without relying on the DRb service provided by fastri-server (it’s a bit
slower too, but still much faster than plain RI, <1s vs. >10s for
typical
queries).

Also, does the fastri-server (+fri) work when launched manually?
