Problems with Glimpse/Webglimpse

["David W. Anderson" <dave@horrordvds.com>]

I had Glimpse 4.1 / Webglimpse 1.7.1 working just fine on my web site - 
Horrordvds.com.  Please note that my site is non-profit so I'm running the 
educational copy.

My web hoster had to move me to another server since I needed more 
space/bandwidth.  Once they did that Glimpse stopped working.  When I 
telneted in and tried manually running glimpse it gave me a floating point 
error.  I imagine this is because Glimpse was compiled on a certain version 
of FreeBSD, and that this new server was a different version of 
FreeBSD.  Note that the original Glimpse package I downloaded was 
pre-compiled for FreeBSD, so I didn't have the source code to Glimpse.

I downloaded the most recent source code to glimpse (Version 4.13.1) and 
compiled it on my web server.  Without too much working I got things back 
up and working fairly quick.  However, I came across a problem.

Basically, if I do a search using Webglimpse/Glimpse and it FINDS what I'm 
searching for, the appropriate results page comes up with the various links 
to each result.

If I do a search using Webglimpse/Glimpse and it DOESN'T FIND what I'm 
searching for, a 'GLIMPSE ERROR' page comes up.  Specifically, it 
states"The search parameters caused an error in the call to Glimpse".  This 
only happens when it can't find what I'm searching for.  Otherwise, if it 
finds something, the appropriate results page comes up.  Now this isn't how 
it worked before.  On my old server when I searched for something that it 
couldn't find, the same sort of results page came up that's used when you 
DO find something, just there were no links and it stated that it couldn't 
find what you were looking for.

So, that's the problem.  Any ideas?  I was trying to find somewhere that I 
could get the source to Glimpse 4.1.  I was thinking if I compiled that and 
tried using it on my server, maybe it would work since the pre-compiled 4.1 
used to work just fine.  If anyone has it or could let me know where to get 
it I'd appreciate it.

If you want to try searching and see the problem for yourself, just go to 
http://www.horrordvds.com - the search box is on that main page.

Thanks for any help.
