Greetings again, Jon,

I'm sorry, I misread your bug report.  I take it that  common_dir  
*wasn't* /usr/share/htdig in the RedHat RPM, but that it should have 
been.  If the packagers configured it with  --prefix=/usr  (which the 
package information says they did), then the default location for  
common_dir  would be  /usr/share/htdig.  If that isn't what it is, 
they must also have overridden either  --datadir=...  or  
--with-common-dir=...

The point remains that the way the packagers choose to configure the 
package is beyond our control.  We just provide the flexibility for 
them to put things wherever they want.

Out of interest, do you know where they *did* point  common_dir  to?  
I've tried to find out, haven't been able to :(

Cheers,
Lachlan
