I am having a strange problem starting the acts_as_ferret Drb server on
a particular Linux machine (Debian Etch). The same setup works fine on
my Mac (OSX).
Without the Rails application running (yes, I’ve checked several times)
I get the following error if I try to start the ferret server and one of
my models contains :remote => true for acts_as_ferret:
script/ferret_start

If I remove the :remote => true bit then I can start the Ferret server
with no problems. I just don’t understand why the model entry is causing
this - especially as the application isn’t running.
ferret 0.11.3
I’m betting this is in the “Duh” section - but I just don’t see it.
Thanks
