Generally, exact error messages tend to be more useful than "dies".

Which package would this be?  I hope you're not running that ancient
3.1.3 binary package for sparc solaris on htdig.org/files/binaries/.

Well, given that htsearch is a compiled C++ program, and not a Perl
script, the presence of perl-related errors in the server log should
suggest that the server is not doing the right thing.

See http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q5.23

Well, I don't have a Solaris system to play with, so I can't help you
there.  In any case, no package you get will fix the server configuration
problem above.  You'll need to tweak your Apache configuration.
