Of course you don't need to build the perl module to use swish.

Hum, I'm having ok results.

I just downloaded the current tarball and built swish-e and the perl module
on the following platforms without any problems:

Distribution    gcc        perl        kernel (not that it matters)
SuSE 6.3       2.95.3      5.6.0       2.2.12
Debian Sid     2.95.4      5.6.1       2.4.14
Linux          2.7.2       5.6.1       2.2.20
FreeBSD        2.95.3      5.005_03    4.5-STABLE
SunOS 5.6      2.95.1      5.005_03    sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise

This fails with `PL_sv_undef' undeclared, which is due to the
old version of perl.
Linux           2.7.2         5.004_1      2.2.20

Now, your session:

..
>Writing Makefile for SWISHE
>[root@joseph perl]# make

You don't need to be root to build, and it's probably better not to be root.

You are linking with an old libswish-e.a file.


>'-lswish-e' found at /usr/lib/libswish-e.a
Try deleting that.  Then it should use the library in ../src, which you
just built.

Mine says this:

'-lswish-e' found at
/data/_g/lii/z/swish-e-2.1-dev-25/perl/../src/libswish-e.a

My Makefile.PL says:

  LIBS => [q[-L../src -lswish-e -lm -lxml2], q[-lswish-e -lm -lxml2]]

so, I think, -L../src says to look in ../src first.

Your's says:

LIBS => [q[-L/usr/lib -lswish-e -lm -lxml2], q[-L/usr/lib -lswish-e -lm
-lxml2]]

Which doesn't make sense.  How did that get changed?  Take a look at
Makefile.PL and see what that line says.
