Comment (by olly):

 The issue isn't that you need to run {{{ldconfig}}} after {{{make
 install}}}, but that you need to run it after manually changing what
 libraries are installed where, as you did when you deleted
 {{{/usr/lib/libxapian.so*}}} earlier.  In fact, {{{make install}}} runs
 {{{ldconfig}}} for you, but restricted to the directory which the new
 library gets installed in - that's {{{/usr/local/lib}}} in this case, so
 it wouldn't fix up the cache for your manual changes in {{{/usr/lib}}}.

 The advice you paste comes from libtool rather than our own code, so it's
 not easy for us to change, but it looks fine to me as-is.  Since xapian-
 bindings builds with libtool, it's not really relevant for this situation
 anyway.

 As for the original error, on my Debian wheezy VM, I build xapian-core
 1.2.19 from source as a non-root user, then {{{make install}}} as root,
 and then build xapian-bindings 1.2.19 from source, configuring, building
 and running the tests like so:

 {{{
 ./configure --with-php XAPIAN_CONFIG=/usr/local/bin/xapian-config
 make
 make check
 }}}

 Then I don't see the failure you describe - the tests pass.  Perhaps I'm
 missing some step, or perhaps in your experimenting you got things set up
 oddly (like the situation manually running ldconfig fixed).

 If you're able to supply a series of steps to reproduce the failure, I'm
 happy to investigate further.
