Description Oliver Grimm 2006-05-05 15:41:05 UTC 
Version:           3.5.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

To reproduce do

- start KHelpCenter
- click tab "search options"
- click button "create index"
- tick box "manuals"
- click "create index"
- click the "extend dialog" button
- there's an error message:

Global symbol "$kdekdehtmldir" requires explicit package name at /usr/bin/khc_docbookdig.pl line 94.
Execution of /usr/bin/khc_docbookdig.pl aborted due to compilation errors.
Comment 1 Rick Deckard 2006-05-08 08:24:54 UTC 
There is a typo in /usr/bin/khc_docbookdig.pl - 

line 94 should read >> my $findpath = "$kdehtmldir/$lang/";

Also, there doesn't seem to be a debian package dependency in place for "htdig" - I had to install it to get the index to build (which it did with errors).
Comment 3 Oliver Grimm 2006-08-05 11:19:42 UTC

seems to work now after manually installing htdig.
Comment 8 Oliver Grimm 2007-12-26 11:35:14 UTC 
KDE 3.5.8: indexing works without an error, but search results are really bad. Try to open a KDE program handbook, pick a word or phrase and search for this phrase. You will hardly get what you were looking for.
Comment 9 Harald Sitter 2008-08-18 10:20:26 UTC 
Error doesn't appear in KDE 4.1 anymore.

I have to agree on the htdig issue, hopefully someone sacrifices for implementing strigi and nepomuk :)
