I am not able to reproduce this bug. I have tried it with various setups and files, but it always worked... Have you tried to delete the original htdig database first: rm /var/lib/htdig/* and then ran the htdig command again twice? Maybe there was/is some strange leftover from an old version. Otherwise i would really need a reproducible setup as i can't track down bug without it... Read ya, Phil
I'm managed to get the same error just trying to build the KDE help search database, but it is not reproducible. I'm running stock 7.1 with current updates. The rebuild progress indicator went to 67% and then just went away; the following was logged to .xsession-errors: [lots of the following two] WordType::WordType: reading bad words from /usr/share/apps/khelpcenter/en/bad_words found an, ignored because TOOSHORT WordType::WordType: reading bad words from /usr/share/apps/khelpcenter/en/bad_words found of, ignored because TOOSHORT FATAL ERROR:Compressor::get_vals invalid comptype FATAL ERROR at file:WordBitCompress.cc line:827 !!! It failed this way several times, but now it doesn't. I still don't get a useful index, but that's probably a topic for another bug report. rpm -q htdig gives: htdig-3.2.0-0.b3.4
Yes, I've tried deleting all of the htdig database. Same result. Also, a similar error is reported in the bug database on the htdig homepage (without any workaround or comments last time I checked).
From my /etc/htdig.conf: # SIMOS: The following has to be false, otherwise htdig coredumps badly. wordlist_compress: false Source: htdig mailling lists. I do not have handy a complete reference.
I've updated htdig to the latest snapshop from CVS in rawhide. If you could give that version (3.2.0-2.011302) a try and report if the problem is gone i'd greately appreciate it. Thanks, Read ya, Phil
No response in 1 month, closing now as RAWHIDE as it works for me now. Read ya, Phil
