Here's a patch based on the results of http://drupal.org/node/257363

Nothing special, but hopefully enough to save some other people a bit of time getting things running.

@patch:

I needed to mkdir php first:

mkdir /usr/share/php
ln -s /usr/share/php5/xapian.php /usr/share/php/xapian.php

In my opinion this is a kludge fix, adding a symbolic link. It is better to modify php.ini (if you want the xapian bindings accessible system wide) or to modify settings.php (if you want the xapian bindings accessible only to your Drupal installation), setting your php include_path.

The symbolic link instructions are in the original file, and apart from a slight wording change to indicate the issue is present on Debian as much as Ubuntu, this patch doesn't touch them. However README.txt currently has erroneous instructions for obtaining the Xapian libraries themselves, which this patch does fix. It wasn't my intention to fix every issue in README.txt, just the one that took ages to track down.
