I had terrible trouble installing ikiwiki. It turned out I had accidentally installed Perl through ports. Uninstalling that made everything install nicely.
I got an error on msgfmt. Turns out this is a program in gettext. I installed that and it fixed the error.

## installing xapian:
download xapian and omega
it installed without issue so I'm baffled why it didn't install from command line.

+ _!/usr/bin/perl
+ _ Ikiwiki setup automator.
+
+ _ This setup file causes ikiwiki to create a wiki, check it into revision
+ _ control, generate a setup file for the new wiki, and set everything up.
+
+ _ Just run: ikiwiki -setup /etc/ikiwiki/auto.setup
+
+ _By default, it asks a few questions, and confines itself to the user's home
+ _directory. You can edit it to change what it asks questions about, or to
+ _modify the values to use site-specific settings.

## turning on search plugin:
-I turned on the plugin from the setup page in ikiwiki but it gave an error when I went to search. Error "blah blah cgi-bin/omega/omega" does not exist or some such. I did a
-
-find / -name "omega" -print
-
-and found the omega program in
-
-/usr/local/lib/xapian-omega/bin/omega.
