See piler -V output I'm using the latest stable 0.1.23 from the Website. I have a feeling it's because I installed from binaries and tar.gz. Stuff is probably not the right place. I think I'm going to roll another setup and install all of the important stuff like piler and sphinx from source. I'm using CentOS 6.4. Can I move the already imported mail from /var/piler/store/00 to new install and then have it indexed? I hate to import 20+GB of mail again if I don't have to. Steve
