Glimpse problems...

[Hennie Rautenbach <hennie@sabinet.co.za>]

Hi there,

I might be barking up the wrong tree here. If so I'd appreciate it if
you could point me in the right direction.

I have installed "wilma" on a HP 9000 running HP-UX 10.20. Not sure if
you guys are familiar with wilma. It is a search interface that combines
glimpse and mhonarc to search majordomo mail archives. I have downloaded
the latest glimpse etc. It installed fine and appears to run "ok". One
problem though, my searches present no results. "0" hits found every
time.

The wilma documentation recommend that I use version 3.6

Excerpt from the doc.

* Version 3.6 is recommended because version 4 of glimpse is broken in
that it corrupts the index when doing incremental additions.
Wilma_reindex now has a -f option to force a complete rebuild of the
index when incremental indexing fails but that can be time consuming
once the archives become large.

Can anyone tell me where I can find a copy of version 3.6 ?

Alternatively I'd appreciate suggestions on how to debug glimpse to see
why my searches aren't working. If it is a corrupt index, how do I
determine it ?

Looking forward to any advice you may be able to offer.

Regards,

Hennie
