If you're using linux, you should consider using the newer java version: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LuceneSearch

I am getting errors when trying to compile MWSearch and get Lucene running. I am following these instructions:

And when I get to the part about running make for MWSearch it gives me the following errors:

And if I comment out the different language files it will give me other errors in other files. Any ideas?

I am running SuSe 10.1 Apache2 PHP5 MySQL5

Thanks!
