Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from: Slackware Packages
Compiler: 3.3.6
OS: Linux
There are similar bug #103266 and #102912 but i wish to report it for
the 3.5.1.
Anyway the problem is widespread in many distributions and i experience
it on Slack 10.2 with KDE3.5.1.
The kde_application_manuals index building routine is utterly broken. It does not work either with
htdig 3.1.6 -- fails in the htmerge step
nor with
htdig 3.2.0b6. -- routine finishes with the errors described above and no usable index is built.
The first problem is that the htdig PATHs hardcoded (sic!) in the
khc_docboodig.pl wrapper (called from khelpcenter) are "distro specific"
at best (not to say absolutely bogus) and the script doesnt even honor
sytem wide paths. Hardcoded assorted locales don't do much good either.
Other problem is that htdig local URL substitution appears to be broken
or the use of it in this wrapper isn't appropriate (for either
versions), the htdig 3.2.0b6 doesn't return any errors upstream,
finishes correctly but increased verbosity revaeals errors such as
previously described here
http://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=11431&action=view
and the subsequent search doesn't return any results (although the index
is reportedly built).
Maybe finaly fixing this (reports since 2003?) would be worth a the
effort because it simply "Doesn't Work" (tm)

Yes, yes,
Please do fix this. So very annoying to get that message:

htdig failed
Truly, us "stupid" users might adopt Linux more readily if things like
the "Documentation" system actually worked out of the box and we didn't
have to spend an hour plus tracking down information on a bug that's
been know to exist for the last three years. . .

Agreed, this has been broken on Gentoo also, for as long as I can
remember.

This bug is solved on slackware
you need to edit
2 files /opt/kde/bin/khc_htdig.pl
and /opt/kde/bin/khc_docbookdig.pl
and edit the variables,should be like this
my $htdigdata = "/opt/www/htdig/common/";
my $htdigbin = "/opt/www/htdig/bin";
my $kdeprefix = "/opt/kde";

This exists further in 3.5.7 on Kubuntu Gutsy Gibbon.
This is also the reason, why indexing fails when having a different localization then english.
For example: Error-Message for german localization:
INDEXDIR: /home/emu/.kde/share/apps/khelpcenter/index/
FINDCMD: find /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/ -name index.docbook

Is this bug still relevant for KDE4? No working help system would be

"htdig failed" means that htdig was not found. More precisely, it's currently looking for /usr/bin/htdig. I added a better error message now (cf bug 146010), but if htdig can come from other directories then the hardcoded /usr/bin/htdig is bad indeed.
The question is: for those of you who have it in e.g. /opt/www/htdig/bin, is that directory in the $PATH? And if not, how is KDE supposed to find it? :-)

On Ubunutu 10.10 with KDE 4.5.4, I get no error after running htdig but
it also doesn't return any results. When I run htdig, it seems to index
something:
htdig: 44 servers seen:
htdig: amarok:80 1 document
htdig: ark:80 1 document
htdig: dolphin:80 1 document
htdig: dragonplayer:80 1 document
htdig: gwenview:80 1 document
htdig: kate:80 1 document
...
but that barely scratches the number help documents I have installed.
Since "amarok" was indexed, I searched for two words that I copied from
the help document: "music player"
No results. It seems that searching the help is currently broken.
