The index files are suppose to be cross-platform, but there's a bug in 64bit platforms (well, at least for Alpha -- I got to get a NIC for that machine...) But the swish-e binary is not cross-platform, of course, so that has to be installed locally. If going to that trouble to install swish-e then might as well build the index locally. There's also the current issue with using Storable to cache config for the search script -- although nstore() is used, it's Storable-version specific. -- Bill Moseley mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
