I'm building a 3.2.0b6 system on FreeBSD 4.10 and running in a chrooted jail cell. This is not jail but chroot. Htdig seems to run fine but htmerge silently dies no matter what I try. I've chrooted down into my cell and ktraced the htmerge and see it aborts shortly after stat'ing /var/tmp. I noted the FAQ note 5.9 (TMPDIR on FreeBSD) and have manually changed TMPDIR. Htmerge till dies in the same, silent manner. My command arguments are -a -s -v.
What exactly are you trying to do with htmerge? That program has been relegated to the role of a utility for physically merging two separate databases (the -m functionality) in the 3.2 branch. It is no longer used as part of the normal index creation process; instead the new htpurge program should be run after htdig. Take a look at the rundig script for an example of typical default usage of the various programs in 3.2.
If you are calling htmerge with options that don't include -m, the expected behavior is that it will just silently run to completion and exit. Some sort of warning message would probably have been a better
idea since this issue has now come up a few times.
