Excellent :) I look forward to an android client. I will definitely contribute to it, and I *might* even get it started. Or might not ... > You can find the work in progress here: https://github.com/wmorgan/heliotrope > Currently it is not actually a server, but accomplishes many of the goals > above.

I've had a quick look at heliotrope (and whistlepig) and not got very far: $ ruby -I lib bin/email-indexer ~/path/to/mbox /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/ffi-1.0.6/lib/ffi/library.rb:93:in `ffi_libraries': no library specified (LoadError) from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/ffi-1.0.6/lib/ffi/library.rb:129:in `attach_function' from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/oklahoma_mixer-0.4.0/lib/oklahoma_mixer/utilities.rb:39:in `func' from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/oklahoma_mixer-0.4.0/lib/oklahoma_mixer/utilities.rb:214 from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require' from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/oklahoma_mixer-0.4.0/lib/oklahoma_mixer/extensible_string/c.rb:1 from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require' from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/oklahoma_mixer-0.4.0/lib/oklahoma_mixer/extensible_string.rb:1 from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require' from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/oklahoma_mixer-0.4.0/lib/oklahoma_mixer/hash_database.rb:2 from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/oklahoma_mixer-0.4.0/lib/oklahoma_mixer.rb:11:in `open' from ./lib/heliotrope/store.rb:40:in `initialize' from bin/email-indexer:20:in `new' from bin/email-indexer:20 $ ruby --version ruby 1.8.7 (2010-06-23 patchlevel 299) [x86_64-linux] Am I missing something? It appears that the oklahoma_mixer gem is broken. I installed it though rubygems. Any ideas? I also wasn't sure how to build and run whistlepig from source. I'm not familiar with the extconf stuff. I can type make happily enough, but it appears more steps are required. If someone shows me the way I'll happily contribute an improved README for anyone else who wants to use it. (I installed whistlepig from the gem in order to try out heliotrope, in case you're wondering).
