Rails 3: Social Stream - Sphinx Install Error

Question

I have created a new app in Rails 3.2.5, ran "bundle", then "rails generate social_stream:install"

I got the following message:

Sphinx cannot be found on your system. You may need to configure the following settings in your config/sphinx.yml file: * bin_path * searchd_binary_name * indexer_binary_name

==============================

My sphinx.yml looks like this:

development: enable_star: 1 min_infix_len: 1 test: enable_star: 1 min_infix_len: 1 production: enable_star: 1 min_infix_len: 1

===============================

I went to: http://freelancing-god.github.com/ts/en/advanced_config.html

and looked for an appropriate config to allow me to continue moving forward with Social_Stream, but I am stuck at this point.

Does anyone know of a config that will allow you to get pass this error message?

Answer 1

Install Sphinx on your system. If you are using homebrew you can run the following:

brew install sphinx

Answer 2

What operating system are you using?

Have you actually installed the appropriate binaries?
