Strigi - How to setup & use

[lerrup]

Re: Strigi

Unfortunately, none of the instructions seem to make sense to me as I am not sure what I am meant to compile, install and some of the file names seem to match up to what I have extracted.

As it's Christmas, is there anyone who has managed to get this working able to provide an idiot's guide to how they did it? You would earn my respect and I would be very grateful.

Thanks and have a happy new year!

Merry Christmas, and welcome to KFN.

You will need to let us now what version of Kubuntu your are running, as well as what version of KDE.

However, Kubuntu 9.10 + KDE 4.4 beta 2 is where the issue with nepomuk, virtuoso and akonadi seems to have originated. So if that's your setup, the step-by-step directions below (mostly copied from Rog131 (in Reply #9 above) should get you going.

Step 1
Follow step 1 here...
http://trueg.wordpress.com/2009/10/2...-with-feeling/
At the sourceforge site, there's a big green button "Download Now!"

Step 2
Extract the file you downloaded
Right-click in Dolphin in the directory where the file was downloaded
And choose Extract Archive here, autodetect subfolder

Step 3
Locate virtodbc_r.so from the extracted archive in the directory
virtuoso-opensource-5.0.12/binsrc/driver/.libs/
.libs is a hidden directory; alt+. in Dolphin will show hidden files
And
copy virtodbc_r.so to /usr/lib/
sudo cp {download directory}/virtuoso-opensource-5.0.12/binsrc/driver/.libs/virtodbc_r.so /usr/lib/
enter your sudo password

Step 4
Locate virtuoso-t from the extracted archive in the directory
virtuoso-opensource-5.0.12/binsrc/virtuoso/
And
copy virtuoso-t (a binary file) to /usr/bin/
sudo cp {download directory}/virtuoso-opensource-5.0.12/binsrc/virtuoso/virtuoso-t /usr/bin/
enter your password

Step 5
Go to Reply #9 above by Rog131 and follow the directions after
"Copying virtuoso-t to the /usr/bin/
Copying virtodbc_r.so to the /usr/lib/"

If you want more idiot guide than that, then it probably would be more fun for you to avoid KDE 4.4 until all the wrinkles are ironed out in the final version. Planned for 2/9/10, schedule here - http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KD...lease_Schedule

Re: Strigi

Thanks for the help.

My problem seems to be that the .libs directory doesn't seem to exist (and I can see hidden files).

Anyone else having similar problems or am I doing something stupid (I had/have done what you suggested).

Is there anywhere else I can get it?

Sorry about that - 9.10 and faffing around with kde 4.4. I didn't have any error messages kicked up as constantly before (not that nepomuk worked...)

Actually before you do step 3 you need to compile virtuoso to get those files you need; if you do not compile, you will not get those files...

I did it like this on my kubuntu 9.10 (i386):

cd {download directory}/virtuoso-opensource-5.0.12
./configure --prefix=/usr
make

watch the configure output and the final checks of make – they will tell you if anything goes wrong. If everything is all right, the make will start and stop virtuoso server at the end to check if everything went fine.

After that, proceed with steps 3 and 4... Good luck!

Re: Strigi

cd {download directory}/virtuoso-opensource-5.0.12
./configure --prefix=/usr
make

When I do that configure works great, but make just says (and I quote):

user@morpheus:~/Downloads/virtuoso-opensource-5.0.12$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

despite there being a makefile.am and a makefile.ini there...

I've had the same problem, I did get the following error after configure:

checking validity of the OpenSSL headers in /usr... configure: error: bad. Check config.log for details

So after thinking about it I installed libssl-dev which got rid of the error above.

After a long time waiting for it to make I was able to find the 2 files!

Thanks.

Re: Strigi

Thanks everyone. With those extra compiling / dependency instructions, everything seems to we working fine.

EDIT: Gah! It's indexing, but search never returns any results. *sigh*

@Carsy - Any chance of adding the instructions for compiling to your guide. It's a pretty vital piece. Thanks!

Re: Strigi

After todays update ( > [ubuntu/lucid] soprano-backend-sesame 2.3.70-0ubuntu1 (Accepted)) the Nepomuk is finding files through the KRunner.

Does it use as many hard disc resources as the karmic workaround?

Re: Strigi - How to setup & use

After copying the 2 files from virtuoso-opensource-5.0.12 directory, can I delete it?

And thanks for all the information you all posted

Build directory ? Yes, you could remove the build directory.
