I was using the standard sort included with Solaris 2.5.1. I dl'd and
installed GNU sort (textutils-1.22), but I didn't have any better luck (I
even recompile htdig to force it to find the new sort). Now I get:
# htmerge -c conf/unix.conf -v -s
htmerge: Sorting...
/home/atlantis3/bigler/opt/bin/sort: read error: Invalid argument
htmerge: Word sort failed
Any other ideas? Thanks!!
