I don't know why gzip is needed, but if it is then you must
see that its directory is included in PATH before invoking
htdig.

It does. I presume htdig is indexing HTML files OK?
The first thing to check is your htdig configuration file.
Look at the external_parsers attribute in particular, it
should be something like:
external_parsers: application/pdf->text/html \
<full path name>doc2html.pl
The only other thing I can think of is the environmental
variable TMPDIR, set before htdig is invoked, which must
point to a directory where htdig can write files.
