Are you passing the name of the config file with the -c option?

Yep, that's a binary file.

Ah, interesting.  On OS X I've only used nano to edit files.  Perhaps the
editor you are using is using <cr> as a line terminator.  The config file
is not read in binary so I'd expect that to be handled correctly.  Maybe
not.  Can you save your file in "unix" mode?

Can you post the output from this (replace "config" with the name of your
config file).

  $ od -c config

here's a test showing an indexing run:

bash-2.05a$ pwd
~/build/swish-e-2.2rc1/html

bash-2.05a$ cat myconf
IndexFile ./search.index
IndexDir .
Indexonly .html

bash-2.05a$ ~/swish-e/src/swish-e -c myconf
