What version are you trying to install? How are you installing it? Are 
you building from source or installing some sort of binary 
distribution? Where did the distribution come from? Have you tried 
running the commands using the full path to the location where you 
installed them?

Red Hat ships a 3.2 beta version. If you are trying to install anything 
else (e.g. 3.1.6, which is typically the only version recommended for 
production) then it sounds like you have two ht://Dig installs, which 
might be confusing matters. If this is the case, you might try to rpm 
away the Red Hat version.

The error message itself implies that the ht://Dig 3.2 libraries are 
not installed at all, not installed in the correct location, or 
installed in a location that cannot be read by the user executing 
htmerge, etc.

For a typical ht://Dig 3.2 install, the libhtnet files would be in a 
lib subdirectory under the directory you specify for the ht://Dig 
install.
