Based on advice I received here, I'm trying to build and install the JCC
flavor of PyLucene on Ubuntu.  But I'm finding the instructions a bit
thin...

Here's what I did so far:

1) Downloaded PyLucene for JCC and unpacked it

Switch into the "jcc" subdirectory

2) Installed the Sun Java 5 JDK, and made it the default per the
instructions in jcc/INSTALL.  (Note to future readers -- you may have to
update the settings of LD_LIBRARY_PATH to match the version of the JDK that
apt gets for you.)
3) Updated jcc/setup.py so that the includes file would find my JDK.  (The
version thing again.)
3) Built jcc via "python setup.py build" and "python setup.py install"

Okay, now go up a directory to PyLucene.

4) Downloaded and installed Ant and made sure it's on my path.
5) Updated the Makefile so that PYTHON and JCC are pointing to the right
place.
6) ran "make" to build, um, something.  It took a looong time.  But it
finished successfully.

And now, I'm sitting here wondering....what do I have to finish the
installation so that I can "import PyLucene"?  Or should it be "import
lucene", as it seems to be in the examples....

I am often wrong, but I am never in doubt.
