SetGeoAnchor does not work.

[arthurlee]

I use this code below:

client.SetGeoAnchor('dep_latitude', 'dep_longitude', 0.21, 0.2);

then sphinxd reports:
query error: index rt: unknown latitude attribute ''

rt index informations:
mysql> desc rt;

I use SphinxSE:

select * from sphinx where query = 'select=@geodist as distance;geoanchor=dep_latitude, dep_longitude, 0.65, 0.23);'

it works well.

[arthurlee]

SphinxSE result:

mysql> select * from sphinx where query = 'select=@geodist as distance;geoanchor=dep_latitude, dep_longitude, 0.65, 0.23);';

Is there the same problem with another client API (python, php) ?
I reviewed the source code and I haven't seen anything strange. As you can see below, the code looks same at the official client.

https://code.google.com/p/sphinxsearch/source/browse/trunk/api/sphinxapi.py#635

https://github.com/touv/node-sphinxapi/blob/master/lib/sphinxapi.js#L576

[arthurlee]

I'll try later.

[adamastern]

Is there a fix for this?

[adamastern]

Fixed it by changing lines 578 & 579 of sphinxapi.js to:
req.push(pack('>L', [len(self._anchor.attrlat)]) + self._anchor.attrlat)
req.push(pack('>L', [len(self._anchor.attrlong)]) + self._anchor.attrlong)
