[pylucene-dev] successful installation of PyLucene 0.9.6 on ubuntu 5.04

[Peter Hoffmann]

Hi all,

while i have some problems with the latest 0.9.8 Version (see other
post) I was able to install 0.9.6 on Ubuntu 5.04:


Installed Packages
------------------
Install with all dependences.

$ sudo aptitude install build-essential gcj checkinstall python2.4-dev swig


Makefile Changes
----------------
Uncomment the linux lines and change PREFIX to /usr and GCJ_HOME to /usr too.

Make and Install
----------------
I'm using checkinstall instead of make install.

$ make
$ sudo checkinstall


Test Installation
-----------------
$ cd samples/
$ python IndexFiles.py .
$ python SearchFiles.py


@Victor: you need to install python2.4-dev to get Python.h.
