Hi Tom, I don't know anything about Textdrive, but maybe this helps.
There is a 'freeze_other_gems' rake task at http://nubyonrails.com/articles/2005/12/22/freeze-other-gems-to-rails-lib-directory , that basically takes the gems you specify in line 4 of the file from your local gem repository (on your development machine) and installs them into lib/ of your Rails project. You can also copy the relevant files into RAILS_ROOT/lib manually. I have done this with Ferret 0.3.2, works like a charm and looks like this: RAILS_ROOT/ lib/ ferret_ext.so ferret.rb ferret/ analysis/ analysis.rb document/ document.rb ... hth, Jens On Mon, Apr 03, 2006 at 08:24:14AM -0400, Tom Davies wrote: > I would like to give the 0.9.0 version of Ferret a try on my > application hosted on TextDrive.
