I tried another install on Ubuntu, and the output at the command line
is...

ubuntu@domU-12-31-39-07-38-86:~/hls$ which searchd
/usr/bin/searchd
ubuntu@domU-12-31-39-07-38-86:~/hls$ searchd
Sphinx 0.9.8.1-release (r1533)
Copyright (c) 2001-2008, Andrew Aksyonoff

FATAL: no readable config file (looked in /etc/sphinxsearch/
sphinx.conf, ./sphinx.conf).

...so according to this I am using Sphinx 0.9.8.1-release (r1533).

I am a little confused on installing from source vs. just installing
from the repo and gems. On this particular setup I did `sudo apt-get
install sphinxsearch` and then installed the thinking-sphinx gem (v
1.3.16). Should this be sufficient for thinking [and thinking sphinx]
to be installed and configured? The install page here...

http://freelancing-god.github.com/ts/en/installing_sphinx.html

...does not mention the gem and makes it sound like if u are using
unix that u must install from source.
