[Xapian-discuss] Xapian 0.9.3 released

[gervin23]

hello olly,

i'm getting a halt during ./configure within xapian-bindings with the 
error that libxapian.la can't be found ('xapian-config --ltlibs 
--cxxflags'). i'm not quite up to speed on bash scripting yet but i 
think it has something to do with the ${exec_prefix} variable not being 
defined in xapian-config. note, this is on gentoo so the libs default to 
/usr/local/lib. i think the errors would've gone unnoticed had i 
originally specified '--exec-prefix=/usr' in xapian-core. also, i was 
sure to run 'env-update' (aka ldconfig) post xapian-core install. only 
after editing xapian-config by replacing all instances of 
'${exec_prefix}/lib' with '/usr/local/lib' was i able to complete the 
install successfully.

hopefully this is enough but let me know if you need any more info...

thanks,
andrew
