Re: [Tracker] RDF Queries

[Michael Lissner <mlissner michaeljaylissner com>]

Ah ha! That location happens to not be in my path, which is quite 
unusual, so I now got it working (well, to start anyway).

Now I got everything to install except for the tracker-applet. 
Everything else seems to work as of now though, which is progress. I 
will play with the rdf queries some more when I have more time, but if 
anybody has advice about making tracker-applet install, that would be great.
