Thank you for sharing! I need to setup a rails application using oracle database on a 64 bits linux and it’s not an easy task… I’m facing some problems, hope your project will be my solution!

Really nice thing you’ve done, doing a rake file for this!

I don’t know why it’s looking for _xapian.so. My install doesnt have an underscore. Maybe try a symbolic link to the correct file?

Comment on Installing xapian on Dreamhost for the rails acts_as_xapian plugin by Matt

Hi Kevin,

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 followed your instructions to a T multiple times but am still not getting it working. 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 I have the step 5 code in environment.rb

Can you help me?

Here is the exact error message:
