Just a quick note for future reference - at least for me, ferret won't
work on Ruby 1.8.4.

gem install ferret
Successfully installed ferret-0.11.4-mswin32
ruby -v
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-mswin32]
irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'ferret'

A windows error message box appears -
ruby.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point rb_w32_write could not be located in the
dynamic link library msvcrt-ruby18.dll.

And the following shows in the command box.

LoadError: 127: The specified procedure could not be found.   -
C:/ruby/lib/ruby
/gems/1.8/gems/ferret-0.11.4-mswin32/ext/ferret_ext.so
        from
C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ferret-0.11.4-mswin32/ext/ferret_ext
.so
        from
C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `re
quire'
        from
C:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ferret-0.11.4-mswin32/lib/ferret.rb:

        from
C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:33:in `re
quire'
        from (irb):1

Works fine on a separate installation of 1.8.5.
