Ahh, that clears up a lot. I've installed the RPM for 3.1.6. Went smoothly. My other version is 3.1.6 so this makes my life easier as well cause I can just copy my config files and make some minor modifications rather than worrying about 3.2 differences. the dig is running as we speak.

If you want a 3.2 beta release, for the new features it provides, you should upgrade to the latest one. I don't know if it's available as a rh9 RPM, but you could try backporting the Fedora Core development source RPM for it. If you don't need 3.2, you can use the htdig316*-3.1.6-1.rh9.i386.rpm packages from http://www.htdig.org/files/binaries/ . If you use these, I should point out that when you install the htdig316 RPM packages, you should first remove the htdig and htdig-web packages (with rpm -e) that were installed from the Red Hat distribution, as the two packages will clash with each other if you try to have both on at the same time. (I used a different package name so that up2date wouldn't keep trying to get you to "upgrade" from 3.1.6 to Red Hat's cruddy 3.2.0 beta snapshot packages.) > The rundig is somewhat different than the rundig on the version I have > running on another machine so I'm not sure what is occurring here. There is > a call to htpurge instead of htmerge. What is htpurge? That other machine is likely running one of the 3.1.x releases, hopefully 3.1.6. This is the latest "stable" release, although the 3.2.0b5 code is getting close to being ready for a stable release. The two lines are quite different, though, in how their DBs are structured. 3.1.x uses htmerge after htdig, to merge wordlist entries together, and build a db.words.db file from the merged wordlist, as well as purging records for URLs that htdig couldn't index for whatever reason. In 3.2, htdig manages db.words.db directly, so all that's needed after htdig finishes is to purge out the stale entries, which is what the new htpurge utility does. htmerge is now just used for merging together two separate databases, with the "-m" option, which was a secondary function of htmerge in 3.1.x. Hope this clears some of the confusion. -- Gilles R. Detillieux E-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Spinal Cord Research Centre WWW: http://www.scrc.umanitoba.ca/ Dept.
