I just pushed xapian-full-1.1.3.2 which should fix this issue.

ok, I figured some out apparently this is an issue with the gem xapian-full. 
unfortunately their gem page seems to be useless in filing bugs. ugh!

To fix this download the gem, untar it all, then edit the Rakefile then gem
build and then you can gem install --local xapian-full(version).gem
