Crashes on OS X 10.6.1

Is this the same as http://github.com/rnewson/couchdb-lucene/issues#issue/15 ?

[trevorturk]

I thought it might be, so I tried the workaround mentioned in the last comment, and it didn't help. Still, it might be related...? I can't tell for sure. One thing - "java -version" and "/usr/bin/java version" work for me, though.

[rnewson]

Can you paste the output of java -version here?

[trevorturk]

Here's the output, and some other possibly useful stuff: http://pastie.org/private/72c1wviyaujah9nefchxgq

I've disabled couchdb-lucene for now, as you can see. My coworker is telling me that I may need to switch to the couchdb user account and run java -version to make sure this is what's being used. I'm not sure how to accomplish this in OS X, but I'm on the hunt :)

[rnewson]

also try the full command that you have there (with the -search bit and then again with the -index bit) as that user.

c-l on OSX has been a pain, which is why the JVM in 0.5 is launched externally. :)

[trevorturk]

I think I've got something worth sharing...

I seem to be able to run the commands as the couchdb user, and there appear to be files written where they ought to be (?) - you can see what I mean in this pastie:

http://pastie.org/private/7y5y4rhtgpx0aqeollea

The first bit is me running commands as the couchdb user. The second bit is me showing no files in that directory, running the command, and then showing that files have been written.

I'm sorry - I don't know if this helps at all, but it's about the best I can do :)

assuming you have only a few documents, the index looks ok. So, at least the index process is working.

Is this helpful?: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2089136

It ended up being libtiff, to my great surprise. Never would have guessed that one.

So, moral of the story, if your Java SE 6 doesn't work, check your DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

[trevorturk]

As far as I can tell, the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH isn't set. Any ideas about what it should be set to?

[rnewson]

Is this still an issue? Sorry, I've been working on other projects for a while.

Hi, couchdb-lucene 0.5 (master) now supports 0.10 of couchdb and has received numerous bug fixes today. Please let me know if it works for you.

[trevorturk]

I'll give it a shot and report back here. Thanks!

[trevorturk]

I've used a "formula" for homebrew 0.4 that worked great for me on Snow Leopard. I did a fresh install and didn't use macports, so now I'm very happy. You can find the formula here for now, but I think it will be merged into master soon:

http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/#issue/228

We're not quite ready to use 0.5 at work, but I'll let you know if/when we make the move. Thanks again for your help!

[rnewson]

closing as 0.5 doesn't start Java from inside couchdb any more.
