Installing Xapian on old Slackware - OK
 

Hi,
I want to share my experience with installing recent version of xapian search and indexing engine. Shortly: no troubles. I compiled directly from sources (make, make install). The only failures are tests for python bindings. I compiled all packages: core, omega and bindings. Performance not tested yet however.

I'm using Slackware 12.2 (mostly) on Celeron 1.2GHz with 512MB RAM. Still thinking this version of Slackware best solution for such crap.
