Initial Comment:
LXR version 0.10.2

OS Ubuntu 10.04 Server Edition
Plain Files

I have spent hours trying to figure out why identifiers were not hyperlinked in the web interface, or the identifier search wasn't returning any results...
The reason was ctags, or gnu ctags for that matter, which options seems to be different from exuberant's ctag.

A patch to ensure exuberant ctag is used would save many alot of trouble.

Apparently egemengozoglu does mention to install Exuberant ctags. (go
figures I haven't seen this tutorial).
Great Program btw.

Message:
I'll modify the preliminary tests in genxref. Could you send the output of
command

ctags -v

or 

ctags --version

on your system? This will help design an adequate test.

Anyway, I'm a bit surprised that Ubuntu installs plain GNU ctags. This has
not been mentioned by egemengozoglu on his site dedicated to Ubuntu
installation (see
http://egemengozoglu.com/blog/2011/07/lxr-installation-on-ubuntu-10-10/)
