Noticed a couple errors in that: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/src/tmp/couchdb-lucene$ tar -cvf couchdb-xapian.tar.gz couchdb-xapian/
should be [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/src/tmp/couchdb-lucene$ tar -cvzf couchdb-xapian.tar.gz couchdb-xapian/ And xapian.conf is in /path/to/couchdb-xapian/ I think that's it.
