The error message above does not appear in any programs in the ht://Dig suite, including the contributed external parser/converter scripts. It also doesn't occur in xpdf 0.92, but I didn't have a chance to look for it in other versions. All I can suggest is you find out which PDF files cause this error, and try running pdftotext and pdfinfo on them directly to confirm whether this is the source of the error. That it doesn't occur consistently is rather odd - you'd think if the utility worked for one PDF, it shouldn't have a problem finding its installation directory for other PDFs. Maybe it only needs it for certain operations, required by some PDFs. Which version of xpdf are you running. Can you confirm it as the source of the error? (Please keep the followup on the list.) > >>> Gilles Detillieux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 09.10.2002 4:59:06 PM >>> > According to Neil Carter: > > We're trying to configure and use ht://Dig 3.1.6 on AIX 4.3.3. > > > > Everything so far as extraction and building/compiling seemed to go well. > > > > We've edited the htdig.conf file and think we have initial settings made. > > > > When we run ./rundig, we get errors back saying it can't open the wordlist and/or >docdb files.
