Good apps, i have compiled it and add to my repository

I have Tracker all installed, but I need some documentation. I can't seem to do a search on an expression like 'apples with grapes' or some expression with more than one word. Any ideas? I tried with " I tried with + and it still only looks for the first phrase? Thanks.

Adding Nautilus support will come to a HowTo near you later .

Have you created a How-to for Nautilus support yet?

Thanks!

Here's what I get when I try to configur the lates subversion:

checking for GMIME... configure: error: Package requirements ( gmime-2.0 >= 2.1.0 ) were not met:

No package 'gmime-2.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GMIME_CFLAGS
and GMIME_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I've looked for gmime on my install and found (snipped):

/usr/lib/libgmime-2.0.so.2.2.3

While the path /usr/lib/ seems quite ordinary, I've gone ahead and added it to PKG_CONFIG_PATH, and rerun ./config, but to no avail...


I've also studied the relevant paragraph in the pkg-config manpages, and do not understand it enough to act on it.
Here it is:

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(VARIABLE-PREFIX,MODULES[,ACTION-IF-FOUND,[ACTION-IF-
       NOT-FOUND]])

              The macro PKG_CHECK_MODULES can be used in configure.ac to check
              whether modules exist. A typical usage would be:
               PKG_CHECK_MODULES([MYSTUFF], [gtk+-2.0 >= 1.3.5 libxml = 1.8.4])

              This  would  result in MYSTUFF_LIBS and MYSTUFF_CFLAGS substitu‐
              tion variables, set to the libs and cflags for the given  module
              list.   If  a  module  is  missing  or has the wrong version, by
              default configure will abort with  a  message.  To  replace  the
              default  action,  specify an ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND. PKG_CHECK_MOD‐
              ULES will not print any error messages if you specify  your  own
              ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND.    However,   it   will  set  the  variable
              MYSTUFF_PKG_ERRORS, which you  can  use  to  display  what  went
              wrong.

              Note   that  if  there  is  a  possibility  the  first  call  to
              PKG_CHECK_MODULES might  not  happen,  you  should  be  sure  to
              include  an explicit call to PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG in your config‐
              ure.ac

Help?

You usually need the -dev versions for compiling, try to find a package looking like libgmime-dev and install that.
