PyLucene make fails : [ivy:retrieve] error

Question

I am following the instructions to install PyLucene, as given in :

https://lucene.apache.org/pylucene/install.html

The problem is when I make, ivy can't retrieve something and it fails.

[ivy:retrieve] You probably access the destination server through a proxy server that is not well configured

Is it possible to download it manually and get it to work, since I have already download everything else.

I have no clue why this is not working, I am behind my university proxy server, and there's nothing I can do about the proxy server.

$make
cd lucene-java-4.9.0/lucene; (JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64 /usr/bin/ant ivy-availability-check || JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64 /usr/bin/ant ivy-bootstrap)

Answer 1

Ant needs to be aware of your proxy settings.

https://ant.apache.org/manual/proxy.html

Citing from the article:

For Bash

export ANT_OPTS="-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080"

For tcsh/csh:

setenv ANT_OPTS "-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080"

Answer 2

I was struggling with this for a long while. I tried a lot of dirty tricks, like this user.

Basically, it seems the file ivy-2.3.0.jar that ant needs to build contains a com/trends directory inside the source, as it is downloaded from the maven repo predefined by the config files in the pylucene installer. In my case, those trends classes triggered a lot of java applet alert instances, asking for allowance to connect to ivy...

Additionally you could be missing to export the ANT_HOME variable.

So summing up:

Export ANT_HOME, e.g. in OS X:

export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/Cellar/ant/1.9.6/libexec
export PATH=$PATH:$ANT_HOME/bin

Use a cleanly downloaded ivy jar. Download a compressed src from here, extract the jar and "place it" in the required ant lib dir, e.g. by creating a symlink. No problem if the clean version is newer than the required. E.g., again in OS X:

ln -s <where you have ivy-2.4.0.jar> ~/.ant/lib/ivy-2.3.0.jar
