~OK, Let me get this straight. You compiled ht://Dig yourself, version
~3.1.1, which you got from http://www.htdig.org/ You can call 
~it from the
~command line and everything works nicely. But when you run it 
~through the
~browser you get exactly that message, "gdbm" and all?
~

That is exactly right. I downloaded the .tar.gz within the last week.  


~This is very bizarre. That filename for databases went out with version
~3.1.0b1, and isn't in the config files any more. Do me a favor. Run
~"strings" (if you have it) on the binary that's in your CGI 
~directory. Let
~me know what version number is in there (hopefully 3.1.1 ;-) 

version number in there (using strings) seems to be 3.1.0.  hmm.. 

~and look for:
~
~word_db
~${database_base}.words.db
~

It's there.  =)

~Also, I'm assuming you've checked the permissions on the file 
~and all the
~directories for the databases? Are they all located in 
~/opt/www/htdig/... ?
~

Yes.  As far as I know there should be no permission problems, and all of
the files ended up in /opt/www/htdit/...  (I left everything at a default,
so they ended up - hopefully - where they needed to go.)

Thanks,
