Setting up Thinking-Sphinx on Mac OS X using Homebrew
Raw
instructions.md

Out of the box, Homebrew does a default installation on Sphinx:

$ brew install sphinx

However, if you're using MySQL, the thinking-sphinx gem won't work because it needs to use MySQL libraries.

If you managed to screw up the first time, uninstall sphinx first:

$ brew remove sphinx

and do an interactive reinstallation:

$ brew install --interactive sphinx

This will take you to the installation folder, so you can do additional commands yourself. Add MySQL dependencies by doing:

$ ./configure --with-mysql

$ make

$ make install
