Hello all Im trying to install xapian binging on ubuntu 8.04 for php 5.3, but its generaiting error, that this package needs phpapi-20060613+lfs. With php 5.3 I've phpapi-20090626+lfs. I've tried to add backports from https://launchpad.net/~xapian-backports/+archive/xapian-1.2 but still I cant install those bindings - any idea, what I can do more? (I've installed latest: libxapian22) -- Best regards, Rafi

They should work against other versions of PHP which are ABI compatible, but the PHP developers made an incompatible ABI change in 5.3, and only lucid has PHP 5.3 as standard. If there was a PHP 5.3 package in hardy-backports I could just create a new PPA for this, copy the relevant packages in, and rebuild, but there isn't currently: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hardy-backports/+bug/395293 You might be able to use the Xapian packages backported for lucid, but you are likely to find you need to upgrade glibc and maybe various other packages too. If you're running hardy you desire stability, so newer versions of key components are probably undesirable. So your best option is probably to build the bindings from source. Cheers, Olly
