1: OpenFTS installation problems
Posted by Jarkko Laine on 12/22/02 10:44 PM
I have a fresh OpenACS installation and I tried to set up OpenFTS driver for it.

However, make doesn't work, though I've tried to change Makefile.global the right way (INC = ../include -I/usr/include) 

In file included from Snowball.c:7:
../../include/fts.h:16: tcl.h: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [Snowball.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/Search-OpenFTS-tcl-0.3.1/dict/snowball'
make[1]: *** [snowball] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/Search-OpenFTS-tcl-0.3.1/dict'
make: *** [dicts] Error 2
[nsadmin@swissnet Search-OpenFTS-tcl-0.3.1]$ locate tcl.h
etc...
/usr/include/tcl.h
etc...
I'm not sure if I have the right version (0.3.1) of Search-openfts-tcl, but I think so because the driver is pointing by default to 0.3.1 source folder.

When I didn't manage to get the driver built, I tried to point openacs to old 0.2 dir. After that, when I submitted the form in driver initialization, I got the following error: 

Database operation "dml" failed
    while executing
"error "$err""

    db_dml create_table "create table $table_name ( ${table_id} int not null primary key, path varchar unique, fts_index txtidx, last_modi..."
    ("uplevel" body line 21)
    invoked from within
"uplevel {
    	  ad_page_contract {

    Initialize OpenFTS

OK, this doesn't really tell a lot about the reason, but maybe someone knows why there's an error in the first place (inconcistency with 0.2 driver, etc)...

I have found just one old chat discussion concerning this issue, but it wasn't of help at the end. So I'm not sure which version of openfts should be used and would be very thankful of any help getting the right one compiled.

Did you ever resolve this problem? I am trying openfts with OpenACS 4.6 and I get the same error. I've tried different versions (0.3, 0.3.1, 0.3.2) of OpenFTS  but haven't been able to get it to initialize. I've also not been able to find the 0.31 version of OpenFTS which is supposed to be the one to use with OA 4.6 - I found OpenFTS-perl-0.31 but not the TCL version. any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
