I'm not quite sure what you mean by "the search works fine." Do you 
mean that you've done some indexing and htsearch works on that?

The error message is from htdig and the path that you've given is 
certainly not where a Mandrake RPM would install htdig. Have you 
compiled ht://Dig from source?

The error message occurs because when indexing, htdig cannot create 
the document database. This happens because either:
1) The directories specified in the config file do not exist.
2) The directories exist, but the user running htdig does not have 
permission to create files in the db/ directory. (Or along the same 
lines, the user may not have permission to even read or enter the 
directories.)

There are certainly a variety of threads along these lines, but it's 
not a problem with ht://Dig. Check that you've installed the package 
correctly. (You may want to try an RPM.) Check that the directories 
exist, that you can create files in that directory and that you don't 
have multiple copies of htdig, htmerge, etc. on your machine that are 
getting mixed up.
