Re: htsearch returns no results

For what it's worth, I have been having exactly the same problem on
two different systems.  Both systems are Debian systems and they
had been running fine until I updated them from Sarge (the old stable
distribution) to Etch (the newest stable distribution).  When updated, =

nothing else was changed and the indexing still seems to work exactly =

as it did before, but searches always get no results.  One of these =

systems has subsequently been updated from Etch to Lenny (the latest =

testing distribution) and still doesn't return results.  Both had =

previously worked fine on the Woody and Sarge versions and all four of =

these Debian distributions used the htdig version 3.2.0b6, so the only =

conclusion I can come to is that there may have been some change in =

some library or compiler.  I have not tried compiling my own version =

of htsearch, I've only used the binary distributed by debian, so I was =

interested to hear that you had done so on ubuntu, and with an older =

version of htdig, with no improvement.  I would be interested to know =

if anyone is using htdig successfully on either the etch or lenny =

debian distributions.
