Compile of xapian-core-12109.tgz fails on OS X

[Simon Willison]

Error is:

I downloaded the package from ​http://code.google.com/p/xappy/downloads/list

This should be resolved with the new packages on googlecode (version 12168) - you'll just need xapian-core and xapian-bindings. Let us know either way!

The new packages on Google Code compiled fine, and seem to be working perfectly. Thanks!
