I can't do that - i am not the author of the file in question, Porter is and he posted it on the mailing list, i just fixed it up. It is reasonably to expect that the file bears the same licence as other stemmers he publishes in Snowball... > > Well... by my own evaluation the stemmer is far from perfect, but still > > very useful for many uses (i already use it directly in my project), and > > way better than no stemmer at all...

If yu need to build gcj 3.4.x from sourcesm, see PyLucene's INSTALL > file. Thank you _very_ much for your help. I managed to build the packages finally, I used gcj 3.4.4 as explained in INSTALL and with the debian skeleton from Brett Parker. they pass the "make test" test.
