I have configured lxr 0.3 and glimpse 4.18 to index my source code under Linux (SLES 9) with root privileges. File search & identifier works fine.
The  first problem is that I am not able to work with free text search. Free text shows “ , line –“ as the result.

The next problem I am not open the .h files

Plz help me in addressing this issue.

The configuration of my lxr conf goes like this 

Configuration file.

# Define typed variable "v", read valueset from file.
variable: v, Version, [/local/lxr/source/version], [/local/lxr/source/defversion]

# Define typed variable "a".  First value is default.
#variable: a, Architecture, (i386, alpha, m68k, mips, ppc, sparc, sparc64)

# Define the base url for the LXR files.
  baseurl: http://localhost/src/source

# These are the templates for the HTML heading, directory listing and
# footer, respectively.
htmlhead: /usr/www/lxrnew/http/template-head
htmltail: /usr/www/lxrnew/http/template-tail
htmldir:  /usr/www/lxrnew/http/template-dir

# The source is here.
sourceroot: /usr/www/src/
#sourceroot: /usr/www/src1/
srcrootname: Path:

# "#include <foo.h>" is mapped to this directory (in the LXR source
# tree)
incprefix: /include

# The database files go here.
dbdir: /usr/www/dbdir/

# Glimpse can be found here.
  glimpsebin: /usr/www/dbdir/glimpse

# The power of regexps.  This is pretty Linux-specific, but quite
# useful.  Tinker with it and see what it does.  (How's that for
# documentation?)

Hi,

> The first problem is that I am not able to work with free text search. Free text shows “ , line –“ as the result. 

This is easy to solve.
1. CD to /usr/www/dbdir/2.6.22 (or other version).
2. run the command, "glimpse -H . linux".
3. the above command should return hundreds of lines if everything is fine.  LXR's role is just making fancy output. So if you fix the command to run, LXR works fine. I recommend you to first check the command path and access permissions of .glimpse* files.

> The next problem I am not open the .h files

what's the output of ls -l /usr/www/src/?

With your "lxr.conf", LXR expects to sess /usr/www/src/2.6.21, 2.6.22...
Again, check the access permissions of files.

Good luck. :)

Hi Toshiharu Harada ,

I am happy to receive a reply from you I could able to fix the ".h files" issue by your guidance.
I am sorry to say that, in the previous posting instead of typing free text search I typed as file search.
I could able to generate the glimpse and now also I am getting the same display
as “, line –“ when I invoke free text search.I also checked the file permission for glimpse.
But u have stated to use the option "glimpse -H . linux".
What is the difference in using glimpse and glimpseindex to build the glimpseDB?
when I invoke free text search(search file) i have noticed in the line no :61

unless (open(GLIMPSE, "-|")) {

/****Control not going here*********/

         open(STDERR, ">&STDOUT");
        $!='';

        exec($Conf->glimpsebin,"-H".$Conf->dbdir,'-y','-n',$searchtext);

        print("Glimpse subprocess died unexpextedly: $!\n");
        exit;

Control is not going inside the unless loop.
Also not able to get where the binary glimpsebin is located, which is stated in exec command.
I have installed glimpse in /usr/local/glimpse.

This is the ls –l of   usr/www/src
total 12736

Hi Madhi,

> I am happy to receive a reply from you I could able to fix the ".h files" issue by your guidance.
Just my pleasure. :)

> What is the difference in using glimpse and glimpseindex to build the glimpseDB?
Read the f?cking manual! :(

http://bases.colnodo.org.co/prensa/glimpseindex.html

It is glimpseindex that build the glimpseDB.
Glimpse is a command to do the search, not building index.

If you search "linux" with LXR, what LXR does is invoke the "glimpse -H . linux" and some decorations for ouput.

File permissions look good to me.

Hi Toshiharu Harada ,

I am glad to see your quick response.
I am going through the (manual)link and also follwing up the procedure to create search.
If u find any quick updates ping me in this Thred.
Take care,be happy

Regards,
Madhi

Madhi,

glad to see you again, too.
I'm monitoring this forum, so changes are sent via e-mail.
(I live in Japan)

I think you are very close to the goal.
So don't give up and keep trying.

May the Force be with you...

Cheers,
Toshiharu Harada

hi Toshiharu Harada ,

sure .I live in India.I will also keep monitoring the forum.

be happy always

According to your lxr.conf,
  "/usr/www/dbdir/glimpse"
must resides and must be executable from within CGI.

There's one very simple yet powerfull debug method.

% cd /usr/www/dbdir
% mv glimpse glimpse-bin
% vi glimpse
% chmod a+x glimpse

You can put whatever you need to debug your LXR.
You might want to include the code to redirect
the result to a temp file.

If you follow this way, you'll soon get to know what is happening.

hi Toshiharu Harada ,

I still breaking with this file search option.I am not able to follow the debug method u have specified."glimpse -H"  gives nice output but when i invoke through search its not dsiplaying the result,simpy getting output as ", line --  "

here is my new configuration file which i use for indexing different versions.

# Configuration file.

map: /include/asm[^\/]*/ /include/asm-$a/

my glimpse binaries in  "/usr/local/glimpse/bin" contain files as :

Is there any path for free text search?

Ah huh!

glimpsebin: /usr/local/glimpse/bin/glimpse

Try it!

Toshiharu Harada

Hi Toshiharu,

I have tried with ur glimpsebin path[glimpsebin: /usr/local/glimpse/bin/glimpse].
but now i am getting  ", line -- " printed twice.

Madhi

Hum..., very weird.

Have you seen and tried http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=4432898?

--
Toshiharu Harada

hi Buddy good news.......,

The path "glimpsebin: /usr/local/glimpse/bin/glimpse" which u gave worked very well.At first sight i dint check it.Now it works for all versions which i have indexed.
Thanks Harada, for the help provided and relived me from the weired situation.

Take care.Be happy.......

Cheers,
Madhi.

Good news, finally!

I believed you could make it, and you did it.
LXR is one of the greatest programs and I love it.

Enjoy!

Toshiharu Harada

I too like this LXR which has reduced the burden of searching the repository.

be happy...
