I am trying to use EWS1.1  to create indexes. It dumps core in the program
architextIndex. Is anyone using this product under Solaris 2.6 ?
Thanks

(1) I looked at EWS on Solaris 2 a while ago, and hit the same (or similar)
problem. I eventually tracked it down - the indexer crashes if the command
line arguments are too long in total (or maybe individually, but it was an
argument length issue). cd'ing to an appropriate directory and running it
with short relative paths avoided the problem, but you can't then use the
standard forms to set things up. It took a while to find the explanation, as
the error message was redirected into a file which was deleted before the
end of the failed indexing run...

(2) We've been evaluating Infoseek's Ultraseek server recently, and I'd
second the suggestion to have a look at it. See http://software.infoseek.com/
Not free, but well worth looking at it unless free is essential.
