I have htdig working well on Slackware 9.1 using the packages provided on CD1. If it is of any use, the process went something like this:
1. Install all software using normal packages (htdig goes to /opt/www/, apache's DocRoot goes to /var/www/). 2. Edit /etc/httpd.conf so that 'ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/' points to /opt/www/cgi-bin (also edit the <Directory> entry underneath). If you have other cgi scripts this could be a problem, otherwise this is a minimal-change solution. 3. Edit /opt/www/htdig/conf/htdig.conf and set the database_dir to /opt/www/htdig/db (if it isn't there already). Your start_url should point to DocRoot (eg http://something-or-other), which will be equivalent to /var/www/htdocs. 4. Copy search page (/opt/www/htdocs/htdig/search.html) to somewhere under /var/www/htdocs. 5. Run 'rundig'. You should now be able to go to search.html with a browser and search your site.
