Xapian discuss - Jan 2008 - Help me compile xapian + python on solaris

Hi, i'm a user of pyLucene and in fact try to port lucene to Delphi. In a
recent project I must put a search engine to work under django + Solaris 10
and pyLucene as today is impossible (to me!) to compile under Solaris.

I'm a deadline and need a solution asap. Somebody tell me about xapian and I
try to install it. Xapian core compile & install right but can't build
the
pything bindings.

This is my steps:

 ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --with-python
XAPIAN_CONFIG=/opt/local/bin/xapian-config

config.status: config.h is unchanged
config.status: executing depfiles commands

*** Not found the required tools for building bindings for any
*** supported language!
***
*** You may need to install -dev or -devel packages for the languages
*** you want to build bindings for.
***
*** For details of how to point configure at tools not on PATH, see:
***     ./configure --help

I'm complete noob on solaris, and have 0 experience in use the gcc
toolchain. So I run  ./configure --help but then wonder what exactly I must
configure (why fail?).

Any hints?

This is telling you that configure didn't find the required tools for
building bindings for any supported language.

You asked for "--with-python", so this means that configure didn't
find the Python-related things it needs.  Perhaps it's also under
"/opt/local" and you don't have "/opt/local/bin" on your
PATH.  Look
at the output from configure where it probes for "python" and
"Python.h"
for clues.

If you have python installed, but not on your PATH, you need to tell
configure where it is.  You can see how in "./configure --help" - see
also the INSTALL document in the xapian-bindings sources.

Also, is 64 bits:

Have you installed Xapian? Is it in your system library path? If not,
is it in LD_LIBRARY_PATH?
