This message results from a failure to find the 'acroread' program, which is what htdig used to use as an internal PDF parser. This support was completely removed from later versions. Unless you have an old version of acroread floating around, this is approach is probably a dead end. > But if I run it as normal user I get this different error: > > > PDF::setContents(78585 bytes) > PDF::parse(http://segramm.dico.unimi.it/common/docs/contratti/piano_utilizzo.pdf) > PDF::parse: cannot open > ^^^^^^^^^^^ > //usr/share/webapps/htdig/3.1.6-r7/hostroot/htdig/db/htdig14605.pdf In this case an attempt is being made to create a temporary file in /usr/share/webapps/htdig..., which is a location your normal user doesn't have permission to write to. > WHAT?

The path is derived from TMPDIR environment variable, which is probably being set in your rundig script. By default this variable is set based upon the DBDIR path also defined in your rundig script. > So, can anybody tell me something about how to solve this? Use external parsers.
