Thinking sphinx problem

a beginner quesition.

i can not start the sphinx service. i type rake thinking_sphinx:start
and it gives me the following

searchd --config …/config/development.sphinx.conf
Failed to start searchd daemon. Check …/log/searchd.log.

i forgot to mention that the log file is not being created and the
permission on the file is to all.

anyone with ideas on this?

Hi there
You need to install the ThinkingSphinx binary, not just the plugin.
Head to :
http://ts.freelancing-gods.com/usage.html
where you will find the links to download page. Follow the
instructions and you shouldn’t have the same issue.
I just got over this myself.
Hope this helps.
