[Xapian-discuss] Problem Installing Ruby Bindings

[Matt Coneybeare]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to get xapian and acts_as_xapian installed in my app.  I  
can get it just fine locally, but not on my dreamhost server.  I have  
been following instructions here: http://blog.kevin.colyar.net/2008/08/installing-xapian-on-dreamhost-for-the-rails-acts_as_xapian-plugin/ 
    Everything compiles fine and I think all the required files get  
installed as there are no errors during the make and make install.

When I try to rebuild the index, is is squaking about not finding the  
_xapian.so file, but it is there!
[ps6736]$ ls /home/mconeybeare/opt/my_ruby_modules/_xapian.so
/home/mconeybeare/opt/my_ruby_modules/_xapian.so

  I have tried changing permission on that file:
[ps6736]$ ls -la /home/mconeybeare/opt/my_ruby_modules/_xapian.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mconeybeare pg1243896 1753384 Jan 17 01:37 /home/ 
mconeybeare/opt/my_ruby_modules/_xapian.so

I made sure that the path (/home/mconeybeare/opt/my_ruby_modules/) is  
included in my
[ps6736]$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/home/mconeybeare/.packages/lib:/home/mconeybeare/run/lib:/home/ 
mconeybeare/opt/lib:/home/mconeybeare/opt/my_ruby_modules:

and have reran the tutorial many many times.   I have looked around  
for other tutorials and they are all the same.  Can somebody help me?

Here is the exact error message:
--------------------------------
