I have recently downloaded/compiled and installed htdig on an Apple Xserve. The only problem seems to be getting the initial database going. I followed all the docs to set up htdig.conf. The only thing out of the ordinary is that I am using a file for start_url because each document doesn't link to the next. I run rundig for the first time, it seems to run htdig -i, and then htnotify, and it also creates files in the htdig/db/ directory, but the htnotify never seems to end. At first, I thought it was due to the number of documents I am trying to index (over 500,000). I gave it 8 hours, but it never finished.
There is a bug in htnotify that only adversely affects certain platforms. The following patch fixes the problem.

Thanks! I'll check out the patch.
How long should the initial database build take (ball park)? The machine is a Dual G4 1.2Ghz, and we are talking over 500,000 documents. Is this an hour? two? twelve? days? After I sent the email last night, I started a fresh rundig and included all of the documents, and it's still running htdig, it hasn't even gotten to htnotify, so it's been running about 8 hours. Is this to be expected?
Thanks again for the help, and the fast reponse!
