[htdig-dev] Db path hardcoded into htdig somewhere?

[BOOTH, N. F. <Nic...@rb...>]

|'ve tried a couple of variations of compiling the 3.0.2b5 suite, and using
a number of configuration options when running ./configure prior to
make/make install.....

In particular I'm trying to govern where the files will end up (I don't want
to use /opt/www.....) and mostly it works as I expect, but it looks to me
like I can't actually set the following:

--with-database-dir=DIR 
	Set this to the directory where the search databases are going to
be. (Make sure there is plenty of space on the partition you put this on!)
[default=/opt/www/var/htdig]. 

or, at least,  I can set it, but it gets ignored.  This is the case if I set
it explicitly, or if I simply set --prefix=WhatIWant - in both cases the
htdig executable seems to insist on creating the db files in the default
(i.e. /opt/www/var/htdig) when I try to do the ./rundig bit

I've checked the file called config.log to make sure I typed it right, and I
can see the correct value elsewhere, but I don't understand enough about
make etc to see exactly what I need to fix.

Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?
