Xapian discuss - Jul 2006 - How to install Rev 7142? (was Re: New remote backend (was Re: Remote databases slower than local?))

Folks,

Wanted to build xapian-core-0.9.6_svn7143.tar.gz and install it in the same
directories as the .deb package installs. Based on ./configure --help, shows I
can specify install target using --PREFIX switch. What should I set it so that
it installs similar to how the apt package system installs? I guess first I need
to "apt-get remove libxapian11 xapian-omega xapian-tools"? Is the
default /usr/local install point the way to go? Also based on only needing
packages libxapian11, xapian-omega, xapian-tools, and remote query capability it
seems I only need to install :

omega-0.9.6_svn7143
xapian-core-0.9.6_svn7143
xapian-queryserver-0.8.4_svn7143

Thanks
OSC

./configure --prefix=/usr

You don?t need xapian-queryserver - that?s nothing to do with the remote
backend (which is included in xapian-core).
