Re: LIttle problem when installing xapian-bindings-1.4.22

 Hi Olly,  I tried that, it gave me this message.
checking for xapian-config... /usr/local/bin/xapian-config --/usr/local/xapian-bindings-1.4.22
checking /usr/local/bin/xapian-config --/usr/local/xapian-bindings-1.4.22 works... configure: error: '/usr/local/bin/xapian-config --/usr/local/xapian-bindings-1.4.22' not found, aborting

 But  I will try to relocate where these libraries are located.

  Will keep you posted.

  With my best regards

 Mike
