[sup-devel] Fwd: Re: Sup 0.10 released

[William Morgan <wmorgan-sup@masanjin.net>]

I'm seeing a weird behavior with the xapian-full gem, and so is this
guy. The installation claims it fails, but it actually succeeds. The
spec file is not copied over after installation, so `gem list` doesn't
show it, but if you require 'xapian' it actually does pick up the code,
even after the failed installation.

Ideas?

I had issues installing xapian-full gem on my ubuntu box running MRI
ruby1.8. The installation fails building native extension even if it 
seems that all the C stuff get compiled correctly. BTW, I solved the 
issue in this way:

sudo gem install xapian-full
cd /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/xapian-full-1.1.3/
sudo rake build
sudo mv xapian-full.gemspec ../../specifications/

andrea@ubuntu-desktop:~$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> require 'xapian'
=> true

Thanks for this great software!

Cheers,
Andrea
