[htdig] core dump

[Chris Manjoine]

Does anyone know if this is fixed in the new release I am having a core dump and segment fault when I rundig everytime on my freebsd 3.3 system?


5.14. I get Segmentation faults when running htdig, htsearch or htfuzzy.
Despite a great deal of debugging of these programs, we haven't been able to completely eliminate all such problems on all platforms. If you're running htsearch or htfuzzy on a BSDI system, a common cause of core dumps is due to a conflict between the GNU regex code bundled in htdig 3.1.2 and later, and the BSD C or C++ library. The solution is to use the BSD library's own regex code instead, as summarized by Joe Jah:
�       make clean
�       Remove references to regex.o from htlib/Makefile.
�       Remove htlib/regex.h.
�       Remove references to htlib/regex.h in htfuzzy/Makefile, which will be there if you have previously done a "make depend".
�       make
