This is, at best, 3.0.8b2. There are a whole slew of fairly major bug fixes since those days and I'd wager that the Berkeley DB code in 3.1.6 will give you a fairly large speedup too. The error you're getting is most likely due to a corrupted database. I'm assuming the db.docdb file exists. But when htdig starts to read/write to it, it has problems. If the database doesn't exist, then the permissions have been set incorrectly in the directories leading up to the file and the UID trying to run htdig has no permission to read/write there. > I am more comfortable with Linux and Windows, not the Mac. Judging from the date of the binary, I'd say you're probably either running some form of BSD or Linux on this Mac, or Tenon's MachTen. In either case, it's a UNIX environment on the Mac, so "Mac familiarity" shouldn't really hinder you. Macs (ignoring OS X) don't usually have Apache, much less /usr/local/apache. -- -Geoff Hutchison Williams Students Online http://wso.williams.edu/ _______________________________________________ htdig-general mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, send a message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with a subject of unsubscribe FAQ: http://htdig.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html
