Thinking Sphinx cannot find Sphinx
I was getting this error this morning after setting up my new laptop for the project I am working on:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 | sh: line 1: 326 Trace/BPT trap indexer 2>&1 sh: line 1: 329 Trace/BPT trap /usr/local/bin/indexer 2>&1 Sphinx cannot be found on your system. You may need to configure the following settings in your config/sphinx.yml file: * bin_path * searchd_binary_name * indexer_binary_name For more information, read the documentation: http://freelancing-god.github.com/ts/en/advanced_config.html rake aborted! uninitialized constant MysqlCompat::MysqlRes |
Everyone probably knows this, but I wild-goose-chased trying to figure out if I had a setting wrong in my sphinx.yml file for Thinking Sphinx this morning for like half an hour before I realized what Thinking Sphinx meant about "Sphinx cannot be found on your system." was that the MySQL Development headers weren't installed. I fixed this with a simple port install on Mac.
1 | port install mysql5-devel |
The more you know.
DataMapper 0.10+ Basic Sphinx Support
I needed sphinx support and I needed it now. Apparently dm-sphinx-adapter wasn't ported to dm 0.10. I started porting it, but I kind of felt like I was going down a rabbit whole. I will continue to work on it over the next couple days, in the meantime at Vokle we used this to get our fulltext on. Note, this is doing the fulltext search across all columns in your fulltext index. Its not doing cool matchers like :updated_at.gt yada-yada. It also doesn't implement a DataMapper Adapter, its a super hack, but it gets the job done for us.
Give me your two cents and stay tuned for a full blown adapter.

Wanna use it?

You've got your sphinxter back. Congrats!
