Excerpts from Daniel Goldin's message of Sat Jul 17 13:29:41 -0400 2010:
> sh: rake1.8: not

Looks like the complete error message was truncated, but I think
this means rake was not found.  I ran into this on Ubuntu 10.04.
Try doing this:

  sudo gem install rake

To build xapian, you'll also need a C++ compiler:

  sudo aptitude install g++

Installing from apt didn't work. Trying gem install sup, I get the following
errors:

ERROR:  Error installing sup:
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

rake1.8 RUBYARCHDIR=/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/xapian-full-1.1.3.4/lib
RUBYLIBDIR=/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/xapian-full-1.1.3.4/lib
sh: rake1.8: not

Any thoughts? I am not a programmer, so keep it elementary, if you will.

To install the xapian gem, you'll need the xapian library and
development headers.  On my Ubuntu 10.10 box here, those are packages
named libxapian15 and libxapian-dev.
