Well, Hyper Estraier is far from being a beta project. It's an
evolution
of Estraier, itself based upon Snatcher, whoose work began 6 years
ago. The
code is very clean, it works and it's fast.
The code of Mnogosearch (and DPsearch since it's based upon it) is
messy and
designed in a totally insecure and unreliable way. I had a hard time
last
year with it in order to add various hacks to have it work with our
blog web
site (skyblog.com). There were many ways to get it die with segmentation
faults. And the indexer wasn't always able to resume its activity
after a
crash. Plus Mnogosearch doesn't scale as well as advertised.
OTOH, Hyper Estraier scales really well.
It just needs an OpenBSD port.
I installed Hyper Estraier but now, because it is in chroot, it cannot
find the libraries it depends on. I had this problem quite a few times
with different programs. I did not have the time to solve it (with
other programs too). What do I do: ldconfig? This is the standard method?
ldconfig with what params? Or maybe it's better to set the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

Oh, well, I discovered how to solve this problem:
# ldconfig
-r
// (we notice that libraries that are used by Hyper Estrayer are not here)
# ldconfig /usr/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/X11R6/lib
# mkdir -p /var/www/var/run
# chown -R 0755 /var/www/var
# cp -Rp /var/run/ld.so.hints /var/www/var/run
That's all. Then in a browser:
http://<site-name>/cgi-bin/estseek.cgi
Finally, I leart how to deal with this chrooted Apache.
Yours in BSDness,
George
