How to install ferret gem on Windows 7 ?
- by Rav
Hi,
I was trying to run an OpenSource project which requires ferret to be installed. While installing it using gem install ferret, it's giving this error -
Building native extensions. This
could take a while... ERROR: Error
installing ferret:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
C:/Ruby/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb
creating Makefile
nmake 'nmake' is not recognized as an
internal or external command, operable
program or batch file.
Gem files will remain installed in
C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ferret-0.11.6
for inspection. Results logged to
C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ferret-0.11.6/ext/gem_make.out
So, I tried installing nmake (nmake15.exe), but the one I could find. It does not installs on Windows 7.Please help. How can I install ferret ? Thanks so much.
