I've sent you a xapian.so by private email.

For others who are interested find two attached files which might help
with Xapian and PHP.  INSTALL-xap has our internal project
instructions on how we got the bindings working.  testxap.php is
an example of the Xapian syntax in PHP.

% make

I had to manually softlink libtoolize13 to libtoolize in
/usr/local/bin to make this work.

Then I manually installed it:

# cp ~ben/software/unpacked/xapian-bindings-0.8.0/php4/xapian/modules/xapian.so /usr/local/lib/php/

add two lines to /usr/local/etc/php.ini:

extension_dir = "/usr/local/lib/php"
extension = xapian.so

RESTART APACHE!!!
