From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020809 Description of problem: When indexing qt and kde documentation (the default, with nothing added), and a medium index size, the system will indefinately index. I let it run for 7 hours before stopping it (on a P3/1200). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run kdevelop-setup 2. choose the default options, and then "start indexing" 3. Actual Results: never completes Expected Results: complete indexing and integration into the online help system of kdevelop Additional info:
Cause of the problem: htdig indexes everything from the root of the filesystem, including directories like /proc/ and /dev/ which causes the problem. Work-around: The kdevelop setup-utility tells htdig to use the htdig.conf file located in $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kdevelop/tools/. This file contains the following line: limit_urls_to: file:// This causes htdig to index everything from the root of the filesystem. To avoid this, start kdevelop-setup and write down the qt3 and kde documentation directories. In my case these are /usr/lib/qt3-gcc3.2/doc/html/ and /usr/share/doc/kdelibs-devel-3/. Before clicking the 'Index' button, edit the htdig.conf file in /home/your_directory/.kde/share/apps/kdevelop/tools/ and add the following line: start_url: /usr/lib/qt3-gcc3.2/doc/html/ /usr/share/doc/kdelibs-devel- 3/ Also, replace the limit_urls_to: line with the following line: limit_urls_to: ${start_url} Now save the file, click the 'Index' button and continue with the setup process as normal.

Daniel thank you for the bug report. This bug is reported aginst KDevelop 2.x, recent version is 3.x, so many things have been changed/added. Shortly I'll try to reproduce this bug on KDevelop 3.x and see if it still happens. Just give me some time.
I've tried indexing Qt and KDE documentation (default settings) on KDevelop 3.3.1 and I can't reproduce this bug (indexing went fine). Could you please try to reprdouce this bug on recent version of KDevelop (3.x or above) with various configuration.
This bug is reported against old release of Red Hat Linux or Fedora Core that is no longer supported. Chances are that it has been already fixed in newer Fedora Core release. If you still experience the problem with current release of Fedora Core, please update the Version field (you may need to switch Product to Fedora Core first) in the bug report and put it back to NEW state.
Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. If you are still running Red Hat Linux, you are strongly advised to upgrade to a current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable. Some information on which option may be right for you is available at http://www.redhat.com/rhel/migrate/redhatlinux/. Red Hat apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We do want to make sure that no important bugs slip through the cracks. If this issue is still present in a current Fedora Core release, please open a new bug with the relevant information. Closing as CANTFIX.
