Trouble on Ubuntu Server

[zubin]

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting thinking_sphinx working on Ubuntu 8.0.4
I've installed Sphinx 0.9.8 (without the -rc2) and am using Rails
2.0.2.

It works find on my Macbook (which is running Sphinx 0.9.8-rc2).
Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi James,

Thanks for the fast response.

I've resolved the issue, it was a silly one but it might trip others
up too so... details below:

The problem was that running "rake ts:in" would fail, with no output.
Running rake with --trace indicated that the problem was when TS
loaded the models.

Adding a "puts #{model_name}" to the load_models method in
configuration.rb indicated which model was causing the issue - turns
out it was a required gem missing for that model. Installing the gem
fixed the problem.

Thanks to Pat for pointing me in the right direction!
