Re: [Tracker] RDF Queries

[Michael Lissner <mlissner michaeljaylissner com>]

I put some time into installing this from source today (~2hrs) and 
didn't end up much closer. Now I have no tracker at all.

My process was to remove the Ubuntu tracker version (sudo aptitude purge 
tracker), and to install the one from source. I had to install a TON of 
dependencies to get it to work:

sudo aptitude install libgmime-2.0-2a libgmime-2.0-2-dev dbus-glib-1-dev 
libdbus-glib-1-dev libhal-dev libhal-storage-dev sqlite3-dev 
libsqlite3-dev libexif-dev libgsf-1-dev libjpeg62-dev libtiff4-dev 
libxine-dev libpoppler-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev libpoppler-glib-dev 
libtotem-plparser-dev libunac1-dev libexempi-dev

After all that, I was able to install it, but now when I run trackerd, 
it says I don't have trackerd installed. I do seem to have the new 
tracker-info installed, so that's good. And the install went fine, which 
is good.

I also couldn't sort out how to install the deskbar applet or the gtk 
search query window, so those are now gone from my system. I didn't see 
anything in the documentation about these either.

Thanks again for the help, hopefully I'll be able to contribute a bit 
here eventually...I also tried to find people on IRC...but to no avail.
