Well, there was another way, sorry.

The ubuntu distribution has a package for tracker binaries.
Excellent!

I download the package and apparently installs without problems.

Obviously there isn't any documentation at all. After some searching
I discover that it installed in "Accessories". I click in the tracker
line and a window appears with a text field called "Search"

I type "iList" and press return. Since I downloaded the source code
of the containers library in a subdirectory under /home/jacob
I know that this word appears.

Nothing, nothing changes, everything remains empty. Mmmmmm...
Maybe I haven't configured something?

Open a shell "man tracker" gives no answer, no documentation.

I type

tracker-<TAB>

and see a list of tracker programs. I call the configuration
program and... yes, my home directory is listed under the
directories to be searched recursively.

I see another utility: tracker-search. I write

$ tracker-search iList
Results: 0

Ahhh that is why everything is empty. It doesn't find anything.
Why?

Mistery. The configuration program says that it has written the
configuration and I see /home/jacob in the recursive directory
list.

I go to /home/jacob/ccl and write:

$ grep iList *.c
containers.h: extern ListInterface iList;

Yes, I am not dreaming...

Well, I do not know what is going on. There must be some configuration
option I did not find out. Probably after some hours of work I could
get this stuff running, who knows?
