Hi, Shams. It seems you had some trouble replying to my last couple messages, as you sent two replies to my earlier message, and three to my last one (so I got 4 copies of one, and 6 of this last one, because they came to me directly and via the list). Be aware that replies to the list don't always come back to you right away - they are often delayed by several minutes, so you should wait before reposting.
According to [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > Thanks Gilles, thats cleared a lot of queries up for me...

I figured that may have been the case, but I mentioned it just in case you were going under an assumption about the default installation that wasn't reflected in the current defaults. The old cgi-bin was actually /home/httpd/cgi-bin, though. No matter, as long as it works for you. > >How do you know that?

You probably had built a database with your 3.1.6 installation, and that's what htsearch from the web server was searching. But when you subsequently ran htdig and htsearch from the command line, you were running the 3.2.0b4-011302 binaries which built and searched a different database, hence the different htsearch results on the command line vs from the web server. > how do you check the version of a particular htsearch binary ? > > I tried "htsearch -?" , but it simply brings up a list of possible > options that can be run with htsearch (e.g. -v, -c, etc). Yes, and just before the list of options, about on the 3rd line of output, it shows the version number.

If you install just the one version, it should no longer be driving you crazy. -- Gilles R. Detillieux E-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Spinal Cord Research Centre WWW: http://www.scrc.umanitoba.ca/ Dept.
