Download and install swig-1.3 or later to /usr/local and make sure it is in your PATH, e.g. "export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

Then do one of

EASIEST - Install using RPM and CPAN archives

1a. Download and install binary clucene RPM from http://sourceforge.net/projects/clucene using "rpm -i" command which gives you

        /usr/include/clucene_dllh.h
        /usr/include/clucene_dllp.h
        /usr/lib/clucene_dll.o
        /usr/lib/libclucene.a
        /usr/lib/libclucene.la
        /usr/lib/libclucene.so
        /usr/lib/libclucene.so.0
        /usr/lib/libclucene.so.0.0.0

1b. Download CPAN archive CLucene from http://search.cpan.org/~pedwards/ and build with
# tar xfz CLucene-1.00.tar.gz
# cd CLucene-1.00
# perl Makefile.PL
# make test
# make install

2) FOR DEVELOPERS - Install using source RPM

Download source clucene RPM from http://sourceforge.net/projects/clucene and install with "rpm -i" command This will unpack the source below /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES by default Then you can build either by doing
# rpmbuild -ba clucene (builds below /usr/src/redhat/BUILD) or manually to a clucene work area clucene.output below your home directory # cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
# tar xvfz clucene-0.9.0a.tar.gz (depending on version number) # cd clucene-0.9.0a
# sh bootstrap (ignore warning)
# cd build/gcc
# ../../configure CXXFLAGS=-g CFLAGS=-g --prefix=$HOME/clucene.output # make

then to build and test the perl wrapper interface # cd ../../wrappers/perl
# make test

3) FOR DEVELOPERS - Build using source Gzipped tar archive

Download the latest clucene .tar.gz archive and to build to a clucene work area clucene.output below your home directory # tar xvfz clucene-0.9.0a.tar.gz (depending on version number) # cd clucene-0.9.0a
# sh bootstrap (ignore warning)
# cd build/gcc
# ../../configure CXXFLAGS=-g CFLAGS=-g --prefix=$HOME/clucene.output # make

then to build and test the perl wrapper interface # cd ../../wrappers/perl
# make test
