Package: php5-xapian
Version: 1.0.5-1
Severity: important
Hey again,
While trying the examples in /usr/share/doc/php5-xapian/examples:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:examples$ php5 simpleindex.php5
Warning: include(php5/xapian.php): failed to open stream: No such file
or directory in /usr/share/doc/php5-xapian/examples/simpleindex.php5
on line 27
Warning: include(): Failed opening 'php5/xapian.php' for inclusion
(include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in
/usr/share/doc/php5-xapian/examples/simpleindex.php5 on line 27
Usage: simpleindex.php5 PATH_TO_DATABASE
The problem is that /usr/share/php5 is not in the include_path.
Now, I don't know if this can be considered precisely a bug, at least
a warning would be useful, rationale:
- xapian docs tell you that after installing the php5 module, you can
happily include xapian.php, like with my previous bug report, you
usually expect installed modules to just workâ˘. Hence you get a
misterious error, until you find out that the include path is wrong.
- this can be fixed by including directly /usr/share/php5/xapian.php,
but I can imagine this is not optimal.
So I suggest any of the following:
- add a README.Debian with a mention to this.
- make xapian.ini do some clever thing to include /usr/share/php5 in
the include_path (maybe not ideal)
- install xapian.php to /usr/share/php/
Perhaps I'm missing /something/ that creates a link to php5/ dir in
/usr?. I'm including a brief dpkg -l here:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:examples$ dpkg -l|grep php5
