Hello, I have used xapian -omega library for debian linux successfully now i want to use the same for Red Hat 9 .But i am not geting its installation for RH9. Can you help how could i get the same along with its installation and configuration. How reliable /functional it would be to use with red hat as compared to debian version? Thank you
On the xapian download page, I found the following paragraph: Fabrice Colin has built RPM packages for Fedora Core 4 <http://www.chez.com/colinf/rpms/> (i386 and source RPMs, ppc coming soon). The source RPMs (the three files that end in ".src.rpm") are not distribution specific - one can build binary RPMs from those with: |rpmbuild --rebuild | I suggest that you try to install the sources and install from that as suggested. As far as reliable/functional, I used an earlier xapian library on RH 7.2 and found it worked as advertised. No problems. I'll guess that would be true of RH 9 also.

Be sure to copy the xapian list in your reply, since there are very helpfus and knowlegeable people on here. First you must install the xapian-core which will install the xapian libraries that omega relies on. To do that, extract the tar file cd xapian-core.0.9.5 ./configure make su make install That will install the needed libraries. See the INSTALL file in that directory for more info. If the ./configure step fails and you don't understand what it is telling you, copy the error message to an email to the list. If it installs OK, then it is time to compile omega. extract the omega tar file and cd to the omega directory and ./configure make su make install Again, look at the INSTALL file in this directory. In general is is not a good idea to compile as super user. Only do the install steps as su. You can now run omega or configure it as you wish. See the documents in the doc directory for additional info.

The xapian-core RPM has no dependency. For omega, you will need to have xapian-core-devel installed when you rebuild the SRPM, and httpd when you install the resulting binary RPM. Fabrice
