building PyLucene from sources on Ubuntu 7.04

Just a quick note to let you all know that building PyLucene
on Ubuntu 
Linux Feisty Fawn 7.04 (32 bit) using the default gcj 4.1.2
as installed with 
their package manager produced a sane PyLucene. This is the
first time I was 
able to build a sane PyLucene with an out-of-the-box gcj on
Linux !

I still have to select Sun's JDK javac as the front-end
compiler, this is 
what's done with the 'update-java-alternatives' command
below.

Here are the steps I followed once I had the Live CD
installed:

   - sudo apt-get install subversion
   - svn co http://sv
n.osafoundation.org/pylucene/trunk PyLucene
   - sudo apt-get install ant
   - sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
   - sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-1.5.0-sun
   - sudo apt-get install g++
   - sudo apt-get install gcj
   - sudo apt-get install python-dev
   - edit PyLucene's Makefile to include:

# Linux (with gcc 4.1.2 and libgcj dynamically linked)
PREFIX=/usr
PREFIX_PYTHON=$(PREFIX)
LIBDIR_NAME=lib
GCJ_HOME=/usr
GCJ_LIBDIR=$(GCJ_HOME)/$(LIBDIR_NAME)
GCJ_STATIC=0
#LIB_INSTALL=libstdc++.so.7 libgcc_s.so.1
#DB=$(PYLUCENE)/db-$(DB_VER)
#PREFIX_DB=$(PREFIX)/BerkeleyDB.$(DB_LIB_VER)
ANT=ant
PYTHON=$(PREFIX_PYTHON)/bin/python

   - cd /usr/lib
   - sudo ln -s libstdc++.so.6.0.8 libstdc++.so.6
   - cd ~/PyLucene
   - make
   - sudo make install
   - make test
     all tests passed

Woo hoo! While I normally work with FreeBSD, I am hoping to
have the 
same result with Fedora Core 6. Not sure if any folks are
reporting 
success here. Please post your experiences one way or the
other please.

On another note, I wonder if it will be possible to build
and install an 
egg eventually. Almost all my python work is moving in this
direction, 
it would be nice to be able to install pyLucene in the same
way and 
incorporate it into my buildouts. Many thanks.

Regards,
David

I'm sorry to report that I spoke too fast. The usual random

NullPointerException happens when - apparently - GC gets
involved. It was just 
random enough to not kick in when I ran the tests in the
build I first did.

PyLucene built from stock gcj 4.1.2 on Ubuntu 7.04 doesn't
pass tests when 
used with Chandler. Oh well.

I'm now building the latest gcj 4.2.0 pre-release (dated
20070501)...
