Hi Marius,

*I installed sphinx RPM like this:*

  wget 
ftp://mirror.as24220.net/pub/epel/6/x86_64/sphinx-0.9.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
  rpm -Uvh sphinx-0.9.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

*Then it installs sphinx and I just check to make sure with:*

  yum -y install sphinx

*And it reply:*

   Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security
   Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
    * base: www.ftp.saix.net
    * extras: www.ftp.saix.net
    * updates: www.ftp.saix.net
   Setting up Install Process
*   Nothing to do*

This means that it is installed successfully I assume.

I am continuing the installation.

Thanks,
Jaco T
