[Xapian-discuss] Xapian for RHEL/CentOS 6.x

[Tim Brody]

Hi All,

I've built RPM packages for Xapian 1.2.7 for RHEL 6. Instructions:

su
rpm -ivh http://rpm.eprints.org/rpm-eprints-org-key-1-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh
http://rpm.eprints.org/xapian/6/noarch/rpm-eprints-org-xapian-6-1.noarch.rpm
yum update
yum install xapian-omega xapian-bindings-{php,python,tcl8,perl,ruby}

perl-Search-Xapian is available for those not using the SWIG bindings.

I had to add to the omega .spec %files section:
%{_libdir}/%{name}/bin/outlookmsg2html

So I could build xapian-omega. Even though Olly promised to fix that two
versions ago :-)

NB Xapian 1.0.20 is available from EPEL for RHEL 6:

All the best,
Tim.
