Hi Mike,
Let's first solve your compilation issue...

Thats the script of your choice!
Just try to run it without parameters and you will get a help output, where you
can see what parameters for compile/runtime you can set, e.g. my setting:
LDFLAGS="-L/opt/openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto" CPPFLAGS="-Wno-deprecated" CXXFLAGS=
"-Wno-deprecated" ./configure --prefix=/opt/htdig-3.1.6-ssl --with-config-dir=/o
pt/htdig-3.1.6-ssl/conf --with-database-dir=/opt/htdig-3.1.6-ssl/db/default --wi
th-cgi-bin-dir=/opt/htdig-3.1.6-ssl/bin --with-image-dir=/opt/htdig-3.1.6-ssl/ht
docs/images --with-search-dir=/opt/htdig-3.1.6-ssl/htdocs --with-image-url-prefi
x=/images --with-common-dir=/opt/htdig-3.1.6-ssl/common/default --with-rx
(This configure command is due to my needs and therefore has SSL compiled in.)
Looks weird, I know. :))
These are only the compile settings. There's no setting you can't tweak after-
wards with the htdig config file.

There's no need to have a separate executable for each webserver. Just create
a cgi-bin which calls htsearch in the proper location (in my example above it
would look like this) and hand over the config file name to this search cgi:
(example is a shell script for better understanding)
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
BASE="/opt/htdig"
BINDIR="${BASE}/bin"
CONFDIR="${BASE}/conf"
export BASE BINDIR CONFDIR
${BINDIR}/htsearch -c ${CONFDIR}/<your.website.foo.com>.conf
Finally I might ask a question: What kind of Unix are you using?
