I have libxml2.so.2.5.7 and swish-e-2.2.3(built with libxml2) installed
with my student account in the school machine
(Sun-Blade-1000 with OS 5.8). I have prepared one config file for
testing with a small set of URLs as following:

-----------------------------test.config---------------------------------
#This is the config file number test for swish-e

However, whenever I tried indexing via the http method using swish-e,
it always ended up with "err: No unique words indexed!".

But when I tried the same config file in another
machine where libxml2 libraries were installed by someone else, it
worked (this machine runs libxml2.so.2.5.7
and linux). And I could see from the screen that the HTML2 parser was
utilized and how many words were indexed.

- Using HTML2 parser - (324 words)

Skipping http://www.southportceramics.com.au/: Wrong method or server.

--------------------------------------------------------


Has anyone experienced this before? Why is this happening? It looks like
with the first machine,
the HTML2 parser is not found (even thought I have specified it in the
config file and installed the needed libxml2
librarires.) But when I installed swish-e, I did see that libxml2 was
connected. Wired ~ ~ ~

Any help will be very appreciated.

Thank you!
