I have to install Sphinx on my Ubuntu 11.10 for it to work on a ruby app.

I managed to install it through synaptics, however when I run my sphinx (rake ts:rebuild) I get an error message saying:

Sphinx cannot be found on your system. You may need to configure the following settings in your config/sphinx.yml file: * bin_path * searchd_binary_name * indexer_binary_name

I guess I just need to edit the sphinx.yml file with the right info but hey, i can't seem to find out where sphinx is. Any help?

Thx Alex
