Thinking sphinx rails not running

Question

Everytime I try to run Sphinx 2.0.1 with Rails 3 on Mac OSX Snow Leopard, I get the following error:

Failed to start searchd daemon. Check /Users/.../log/searchd.log.
Failed to start searchd daemon. Check /Users/.../log/searchd.log

And that's my backtrace

Did anyone run into this ? Does anyone know what's going on? And how to solve this?

Sphinx 2.0.1 doesn't work on OS X - you'll want to grab the source for 2.0.2-dev instead:

svn co http://sphinxsearch.googlecode.com/svn/trunk sphinx-read-only

This didn't work for me on OS X, running `make` on trunk gave me the error "pthread_mutex_timedlock was not declared in this scope". A google search turns up [this thread](http://www.orocos.org/forum/rtt/rtt-dev/bug-684-new-trunk-fails-build-mac-pthreadmutextimedlock-not-available), where someone mentions it's fixed in revision 30387. However, when I browse [trunk](http://sphinxsearch.googlecode.com/svn/trunk), the most recent revision is 2888. Anyone have insight on resolving this error for 2.0.2-dev on OS X? – Matt Huggins Jul 18 '11 at 04:02

I ended up installing version 1.1.0 [from here](http://sphinxsearch.googlecode.com/svn/branches/rel110/) without problem on OS X in the meantime. – Matt Huggins Jul 18 '11 at 04:06
For anyone else encountering the same issue as me on OS X, it looks like there is a [bug report here](http://sphinxsearch.com/bugs/view.php?id=881). Until it's fixed, you can checkout revision 2887 of the code and compile that without issue. – Matt Huggins Jul 28 '11 at 13:06

I was getting same issue a month ago.

you can try

   ps -ef | grep searchd

Kill the running processes and then in from project directory.

   rake ts:index
   rake ts:start

Ps: I moved back to 0.9.9-release, but this solved issue on my friend's machine but not mine.
