What’s Ultrasphinx ? Ultrasphinx is ruby on rails plugin that utilize Sphinx, the open source Full text search engine, why we need another 3rd party library to query our database ?, it’s because Ultrasphinx fairly fast and easy to use, last week i’ve tried to install it on My lovely Werewolf, then here it is :
Install mysql server and mysql devel
sudo yum install mysql-server mysql-devel
some note : sphinx use mysql-devel to interfacing with mysql databases, for first time, i am very frustrating to compile it on my werewolf and people got the same problem like me too, so after hours + cofeemix and searching on the internet, fortunately i got the saviour, … mysql-devel of course
