Subject: Swish++ setup problem

Following Paul's encouragement to try SWISH++, I installed it - but I'm now
baffled by the configuration. I want to:
- run the searchd daemon
- index everything to one index in /var/tmp/swish++.index
- use a config file in /etc/swish++.conf
I edited the makefile appropriately and everything seems to install in the
right place. I edited the index location into swish++.conf and created an
index file for test purposes. When I type eg "search help" I get the error
"search: error: could not read index from "swish++.index" - which gives
the impression that it's not finding the index in /var/tmp
If the index file is manually specified to search then files are found -
although clearly having to specify the index file for every search doesn't
seem quite right given that it is specified in swish++.conf
I've read the manual pages and mailing list until my eyeballs are burning
and have made no progress. Maybe I'm just missing the point - has anyone
got a similar Swish++ setup going?
Iain
