I have developed some simple programs in java form creating lucene indexes and then using them to search. I now have an interest in using perl to use the indexes for search purposes, but am having trouble doing even the simplest thing using Plucene and Plucene::Simple. If anyone here can help, I would appreciate it. After googling and attempting to use Plucene directly, it appeared that it would be better to use Plucene::Simple. Trouble is, it will not install, either on my windows XP box or my linux box. In both cases, the install fails (more or less) the same way. Here is the message from the linux box: make: *** [test] Error 255 /usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK Running make install make test had returned bad status, won't install without force Failed during this command: ADIE/Test-Class-0.11.tar.gz : make_test NO STRYTOAST/PluceneSimple-1.04.tar.gz : make_test NO
There are a bunch of test failures before that. I installed Plucene (1.24) just fine. The example code on the Plucene perldoc page could be a little more complete. All I want to do is use QueryParser against a lucene index I created using java, and get back a list of documents. I have done this in java but seem to be lacking the Rosetta stone to do it in perl. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Dean --------------------------------- Love cheap thrills? Enjoy PC-to-Phone calls to 30+ countries for just 2ยข/min with Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.
