Hi, I'm also running Mac OS now (besides windows still ,-) and was able to build & install PyLucene 3.6.0.2 on MacOS-X (10.7/intel/Python2.7) without any problems - that's the good news.
However it was quite difficult for me to get the download files and installation instructions: Download: ------------- >From http://lucene.apache.org/pylucene/ there is no visible download link (it even does not contain the word "Download"). There is a hint "Source distributions are available <http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/lucene/pylucene/> here." on the main page, below "News", though. The Install page at http://lucene.apache.org/pylucene/install.html has a download link in the news on the bottom of the page: "Lucene can be downloaded from <http://lucene.apache.org/core/mirrors-core-3x-redir.html?> http://lucene.apache.org/core/mirrors-core-3x-redir.html " ,but this page only lists the Java version. In the end I did open this manually "crafted" URL www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/lucene/ and was able to browse to a /pylucene/ folder. (because I didn't see the "source dist" hint in the first place). Install: -------- On the Install page at http://lucene.apache.org/pylucene/install.html there are broken links: "see JCC's <site:jcc/documentation/install> installation instructions " -> site:jcc/documentation/install The file INSTALL in the distribution says -- Please see doc/documentation/install.html or http://lucene.apache.org/pylucene/documentation/install.html -- But there is no "doc" directory in the distribution! (Same for README which points to non-existing 'doc/documentation/readme.html' - and the jcc/README and jcc/INSTALL). Possibly the doc-dir just slipped through the build process . (I've seen this directory before) There was some discussion about fixes to the website on the mailing list, so I thought this would be worth mentioning. Note there is a nice download button on the Java Lucene site at lucene.apache.org - that's probably the first thing most devs are looking for ,-) regards Thomas
