Oh, hmm, forgot about all that stuff. I actually do run gearman in my dreamhack, but it doesn't look like there's a relevant wiki page I can point you to. The one about setting up gearman appears to geared towards production sites and not dreamhacks.
I think what I did was something like this:
cd $LJHOME/cvs/gearman
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=$LJHOME
make install
Then I chose a port nobody else was using (but I think the documented procedure probably ought to involve asking sophie to assign one) and started gearmand like this:
$LJHOME/bin/gearmand -p 17103 &
My config-local.pl has:
@GEARMAN_SERVERS = ( '127.0.0.1:17103' );
Let's see, I've also had to do this sort of thing for mogilefs, theschwartz, workers in general, memcached, and probably something else I'm forgetting. I have no doubt that it's possible to do the same for sphinx without needing root privileges, but it does seem like a bit of a bother.
