Beagle ↩

I've got a new hobby - watching beagle index all the data that has accumulated in my homedir.

The installation on Ubuntu is pretty straightforward, except that some libraries/symlinks don't seem to be created correctly.

$ sudo apt-get install libgsf-cil libgmime-cil libebook1.2-3 
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libebook1.2.so /usr/lib/libebook1.2.so.0

I think there were some more libraries missing, but executing "beagled --fg --debug" will probably tell you about that. Everytime it spits out a DllNotFoundException with some .so or complains about a missing .dll, just install those and everything works fine.

Pretty amazing that it runs so smooth, at least up til now. Kudos to the developers.

PS: Yes, this is about beagle in the version 0.0.11.1 for Hoary. 0.0.12 has not been backported yet so I wont install, even though 0.0.11.1 has serious issues for me (memory consumption with blam! is insane).
