Hi Chris I don't want to build up hope too much, but I think that provides the answer - /opt is not where searchd defaults to installing to. From memory though, it *is* where macports installs things. So I think the other installs have been working fine all this time, but the first searchd (or last - not sure how bash preferences this) is the ports install, not manual install.
My install (on a mac) is at /usr/local/bin/searchd -- if you have a file there as well, try sudo renaming the one under /opt, fire up a new shell (bash caches binary references, I think), and see if the rake tasks are happy. *fingers crossed* And there's no charge for this support - paid work does generally take precendence for me (otherwise TS would be much more solid a beast). That said, there is a pledgie, but no obligation to make any payment. This project has led to paid gigs in the past, and likely will in the future, and that's secondary to the satisfaction of having a library out there that other people are happy about using, along with general recognition, kudos, etc. Cheers -- Pat On 16/06/2009, at 6:28 PM, internetchris wrote: > > Hi Pat, > > Ok so I got my computer back with a clean bill of health.
