The normal Arch Xapian package should work fine.
Hey there Rich. I'm the package maintainer there and have certainly had a never-ending cascade of trouble packaging it. Stuff ranging from dire lack of aur packages for the dependencies (which prompted me to write a system to automatically create them) to broken dependencies to massive Sup errors in the upgrade to Ruby 1.9. Anyway, I still can't get it to run even with 0.12.1. Here's the general situation (reposted partially from my comments there): * use ruby-xapian-full * need gettext to be a gem and not a regular install... -- pacman -Rd your ruby-gettext and sudo gem install ruby-gettext (STILL A PROBLEM, SHOULD TALK TO THE MAINTAINER OF THAT PACKAGE) * gem install sup: - Won't install in local mode (i.e. into your ~), fyi (not that I care a lot) - Still attempts to build ncurses (which fails)? Why's that? If I override and install it without dependencies it seems to use ncursesw happily enough. * The new package throws up this runtime error without a .sup directory: --- RuntimeError from thread: main can't modify frozen string /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/sup-0.12.1/lib/sup/account.rb:54:in `force_encoding' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/sup-0.12.1/lib/sup/account.rb:54:in `block in add_account' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/sup-0.12.1/lib/sup/account.rb:54:in `each' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/sup-0.12.1/lib/sup/account.rb:54:in `add_account' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/sup-0.12.1/lib/sup/account.rb:38:in `initialize' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/sup-0.12.1/lib/sup/util.rb:613:in `new' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/sup-0.12.1/lib/sup/util.rb:613:in `init' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/sup-0.12.1/lib/sup.rb:164:in `start' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/sup-0.12.1/bin/sup:153:in `<module:Redwood>' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/sup-0.12.1/bin/sup:69:in `<top (required)>' /usr/bin/sup:19:in `load' /usr/bin/sup:19:in `<main>' The above I've seen to be bug 98 on the bugtracker... but for whatever reason, the bugtracker has been down for a week or two on my end. What xapian package do you recommend using? Maybe that's the source of my problems. _______________________________________________ sup-talk mailing list sup-talk@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-talk
