I removed tracker and did a make distclean and ran the ./configure
command with --prefix=/usr and --sysconfdir=/etc. It works this time.
Maybe I had to do a make distclean before reconfiguring again. Thank

Also, i was using the tracker install that was only configured with
./configure and it seems to be working fine (i was able to perform
searches). Related to this, how do I check if my tracker install is
configured properly?

Thanks
