I sent two emails to Xapian Discussion yesterday but I guess it didn't send correctly. Sorry if it goes out more than once.

After that, when I run 'dpkg --get-selections > installed-software', it tells me they are 'deinstall' and the info of 'python-xapian' are gone. apt-xapian-index deinstall libxapian15 deinstall And then, I tried to reinstall xapian-core-1.0.16. After that, the installed-software doesn't update and still shows the apt-xapian-index is deinstall. BTW, I am using Ubuntu 9.04, and the computer is Dell Optiplex 960. I still could not install the Search-Xapian Perl modules. Still tells me You've asked me to link against what appears to be an uninstalled xapian-core tree, but I can't find libtool in that tree". I downloaded Xapian 1.1.2 and tried to install this version at http://oligarchy.co.uk/xapian/1.1.2/. For xapian-core, after I ran './configure', it has an error "uuid/uuid.h not found - required for chert and flint (you may need to install the uuid-dev or libuuid-devel package)." Then, I download the "uuid-dev_1.2-1.41.4-lubuntu1_lpia.deb" package. When I run the uuid package, it told me Wrong architecture 'lpia'. Thanks, Ying

[Xapian-discuss] Install questions for 1.0.16 and 1.1.2

When I run the uuid package, it told me Wrong architecture > 'lpia'.I strongly recommend learning to use the higher-level package management systems in Ubuntu rather than trying to install individual packages manually. This will avoid these kinds of problems. It it entirely possible to build xapian-core on Ubuntu, even if another version is already installed. I suggest you build xapian-core 1.0.16, install it, and then build Search-Xapian against it. (It sounds like you were trying to build Search-Xapian without installing your new xapian-core.) If that doesn't work, come back with just the first thing that goes wrong, with the full error message and a list of steps taken up until that point.
