[htdig] 3.2.0b3 Install

[Abbie Greene]

I’m currently running HTDig 3.1.6 on RedHat 8.0 with no problems.  However, I’d like to upgrade to 3.2.0b3 as I’d like phrase searching capabilities.  I have temporarily renamed all htdig occurrences to ‘oldhtdig’ on my system until the new version is up and running.   I’m receiving error messages when running ./configure.   The first error message is regarding zlib.  However I have the following zlib RPMS installed:   Zlib-devel-1.1.4-4 Zlib-1.1.4-4   It can’t seem to find the zlib folder.  I realize I can use –with-zlib=[dir] however I’m not sure exactly where to point it.  The only .so file I see for zlib is /usr/lib/python2.2/lib-dynload/zlibmodule.so …is this correct?    My second ./configure problem has to do with g++  (again)…  On the first install of 3.1.6 I used the following to configure:   CXX="g++296" ./configure   …and everything installed perfectly.  However when I try running:   CXX=”g++296” ./configure –-without-zlib (just to see if it finds g++ … it still doesn’t work.   Any suggestions?   Thanks in advance!   Abbie
