Also, if you want the 3.1.6 stable release, you can use the RPMs in http://www.htdig.org/files/binaries/ instead of Red Hat's RPMs. You'll have to remove the Red Hat htdig and htdig-web packages before installing the htdig316 packages, though, as the two cannot peacefully co-exist given the overlapping directories with which they were configured. You can use Red Hat's RPMs if you want, but they're based on a year-old 3.2 snapshot, so they're missing a lot of recent bug fixes and enhancements. Red Hat also introduced some configuration problems in their RPM which have caused some users grief. As for the htfuzzy segfaults, you should remove any existing db.soundex.db or db.metaphone.db before running htfuzzy. You don't normally need to do this, but there are problems when you switch between 3.2 and 3.1.6 versions, which can be avoided if you remove one version's databases before going to another version. -- Gilles R.
