Comment 13 for bug 178701

The issue persists in 12.10

The patch provided in post #10 has worked for me. I've been using search monkey for several hours with no crash ;-)

Here are the instructions for creating a patched version of searchmonkey-0.8.1

1) Download the 0.8.1 source from http://sourceforge.net/projects/searchmonkey/files/searchmonkey/ and unzip.

2) Apply the patch (thanks Mateusz!) from post #10 using

$ patch -p0 < searchmonkey-fixes.patch

3) Install the necessary build tools. In my case, I needed the following. YMMV.

$ sudo apt-get install gtk+-2.0

4) configure the makefile, and build it

$ configure && make

5) You now have an executable (src/searchmonkey). Install it:

$ sudo make install

I also tried to build searchmonkey-2.0.0. The code won't compile without a small bug-fix. I won't bother adding a patch, as resulting application is, IMHO, vastly inferior to the old version.

1) Download the 2.0.0 source from http://sourceforge.net/projects/searchmonkey/files/Searchmonkey2 and unzip

2) Install the necessary build tools. In my case, I needed the following:

$ sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-core libqt4-dev libqt4-dev-bin g++

3) Fix a bug in the code - it won't compile otherwise(!) In file Utility.h, there is a template IsValueInRange<>, which is dependent on the templates LowerBoundFIt<> and UpperBoundFit<>, but which is declared ahead of it.

Simply change the order so that IsValueInRange<> comes afterLowerBoundFIt<> and UpperBoundFit<>.

4) create the makefile from the QT project file, and build it.

$ qmake && make

5) you have an executable, searchmonkey

PS - I wanted to send the bug-fix back to the project maintainers, but their forum, mailing-list and contact addresses lead nowhere....
