 I just tried installing but get this error. I also tried installing
 xdg-utils but still the same error as below. Note, I am not using
 GNOME or KDE so I probably do not have all these desktop related
 software. I am currently using DWM as my window manager.

Please check the error messages from dpkg. Maybe your /etc/xdg
directory is busted.

I would think that the package is busted, since /etc/xdg is supposed to
be a directory, not a conffile.

Re: [Tracker] Proper development libraries to get PDF support [SOLVED]

Hey guys,

I found the problem. There was no library missing. It was just the
configure options were wrong.

According to README file, we should use ./configure --prefix=/usr
--sysconfdir=/etc or else things would go wrong. However, simply
running ./configure works! It picks up all the libraries.

What is the purpose then of the above line in the README file. Am I
missing something?

By the way, this is on a Debian Etch 4.0r1 machine.

Passing --prefix and --sysconfdir to ./configure does not influence
how the poppler devel libs are detected (using pkg-config). I guess
you your problem is elsewhere.

Why prefix /usr and sysconfdir /etc: Otherwise your tracker
installation won't work properly (dbus integration, autostart files
etc.).

I removed tracker and did a make distclean and ran the ./configure
command with --prefix=/usr and --sysconfdir=/etc. It works this time.
Maybe I had to do a make distclean before reconfiguring again. Thank
you.

Also, i was using the tracker install that was only configured with
./configure and it seems to be working fine (i was able to perform
searches). Related to this, how do I check if my tracker install is
configured properly?

Thanks
