Did you try to use makeindex4? It's there for those who `just' want to use xindy. The actual tutorial and the manual of xindy is not for authors, but for those who want to develop style files. Btw, the raw files are created by tex2xindy; but you should not need to use this program, as it's called by makeindex4 internally. I think we need to restructure the documentation to make the distinction between author and developer stuff clearer. Also, thanks for pointing out the problem during installation.
