I installed Python 3.6 on Ubuntu 16.04 on Docker using the ppa:jonathonf/python-3.6
repository. Now I'd like to install xapian so I can use it with Python. I have not found any ready-made packages, so I am trying to build it from sources. I set PYTHON3
and PYTHON3_LIB
parameters to point to Python 3.6. During the build process I get the following error:
ImportError: libxapian.so.30: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I tried xapian versions 1.3.7 and 1.4.5 without luck.
How can I install xapian?
Here's a Dockerfile to reproduce my error:
