nnir and swish++?

[Josh Huber]

Well, swish++ looks to be working great, but I'm having trouble
getting nnir.el to interface properly with it.

here are my relevant settings:

(require 'nnir)
(setq nnir-search-engine 'swish++)

short!

I'm getting the error:

any ideas?

The following setup is working for me:

(require 'nnir)
(setq nnir-mail-backend (quote (nnml "mail")))
(setq nnir-search-engine (quote swish++))
(setq nnir-swish++-program "/usr/local/bin/search")
(setq nnir-swish++-configuration-file "/home/marco/.swish++/config.mail")
(setq nnir-swish++-remove-prefix "/home/marco/Mail/")

Personally, I'm simply annoyed that swish++ won't build under
RedHat7.1 at all.  I don't do c++; anyone holding a clue?  g++ is
"2.96".

Interestingly, I tried compiling it under RH6.2 as well, which choked
as well, though differently (and later), using egcs 2.91.66:

I'm not sure what's gong on here, but it sounds like STL problems
perhaps?  I didn't have a problem building under debian unstable...

back to my original problem though, I tried specifying more
configuration variables (like Marco suggested) for nnir, but to no
avail.  I still have the same error.

I'll take a look later today and see if I can figure out what's going
on.

ttyl,

It turns out that there's an updated release, 5.0.1, which contains
this observation in Changes:

| 5.0.1
| *******************************************************************************
| 
| BUG FIXES
| ---------
| 
| * This releases fixes a lot of compile issues (mostly namespaces) with g++ 3.0.
| 
|   (This bug fix shall be known as bug fix GCC3.)
| 
| * The changes to fix the above have apparantly caused bugs in (at least) g++
|   2.95.3 to manifest themselves:
| 
| 	1. In some cases, the compiler "forgets" that operator<<(
| 	   ostream&, string const& ) has been defined.  The hack
| 	   workaround is to use operator<<( ostream&, char const* ) and
| 	   use string::c_str().
| 
| 	2. The compiler "forgets" that stream manipulators have been defined.
| 	   The workaround is not to use them.  :-(
| 
|   (This fix shall be known as fix OOS.)

A quick attempt at a build of 5.0.1 gave me the same problem, so I'll
have to try to figure out what this means this evening -- I don't have
time to hack on it right now.

The c++ compiler that shipped with RH7.1 was beta in nature and the
gcc authors are rather mad at RH for shipping it.  I'd "downgrade"
(which is actually somewhat of an upgrade) to gcc-2.95.2-7 instead.

Can you delete nnir.elc, start a new Emacs, and produce a more
complete backtrace?

And also, which version of nnir.el is it?  If not 1.68, does that one
work better?

Thanks, upgrading fixed the problem...nnir is _finally_ working.
After going through 2 previous databases (freeWAIS-sf and glimpse),
I've finally found one that doesn't segfault randomly on my powerpc
laptop. :)

Thanks for the help...

In nnir 1.68 (the version you got now) a bug is fixed concerning
groups with dots within the name.
