If you get problems, use 0.6.3

From Sphinx

(Section by Sam)

This tutorial instructed me to use 0.6.3 (latest released Sphinx3 version).

However the third tutorial requires 0.7.

Going through the third tutorial I got stuck. First came some library version problems (in /usr/local/lib/ which I fixed by renaming files) then some problem I couldn't fix.

0.7 works for everything. Hence I have modified the instruction.


If you are getting problems (the svn version could I guess change any moment to something that messes up), you should try this tutorial with 0.6.3:

Installing Sphinx 0.6.3

  • download
  • extract
  • autogen.sh
  • ./configure
  • make install

NOTE: sphinxbase does NOT need to be installed, that is only needed for version 0.7 (trunk) and going forward
