Xapian discuss - Jul 2009 - redhat rpm install and quick start

I installed Xapian and Omega following the instructions for the RHEL 5 RPM
package found at xapian.org.
I was going to perform the quick start instructions, but there is not
"omnidex"  for the omindex --db DBPATH --url / WEBPATH command.
The quick start also mentions running omega from usr/lib/omega/bin; however that
was not created as well using the RHEL 5 RPM.
Is there a walkthrough on how to configure Omega on RHEL 5, or can someone give
me some direction on how to get an example search configured and running?

Thanks

Marc

It should have been installed as part of the xapian-omega
package. It'll be in /usr/bin (according to the package I've just
checked manually).

Once you've successfully installed the packages, the walkthroughs
should pretty much work straight off. /usr/bin is likely to be on your
path, so there's no obvious reason why just running the omindex
command in quickstart wouldn't work; this suggests that the package
isn't fully installed.

(The Omega CGI in the RPMs lives in /var/www/cgi-bin .)

Note that it's "omindex", not "omnidex" - perhaps that
is your problem?
