I run rdate every night to sync the clock and recently, it kept failing. I tested it manually, and found that when I ran "rdate -p" it kept outputting "Alarm Clock". I had to update rdate from source (http://freshmeat.net/redir/rdate/8862/url_tgz/rdate-1.4.tar.gz) and it works fine now. (and this was on RedHat 9)

I spent around 3 hours today, implementing search capabilities for Kalpavriksham Premier Property Management & Services website using htdig. It works wonderfully. I did not expect that it could be customizable, but it was and to a very large extent.

While compiling ht://dig (htdig) on RedHat 9, I got the following Error:

configure: error: To compile ht://Dig, you will need a C++ library.

Try installing libstdc++

The solution would be to run "./configure" like this:

CXXFLAGS=-Wno-deprecated CPPFLAGS=-Wno-deprecated ./configure <your params>

This is for installing htdig versions prior to 3.2.0b5, to work with GCC 3.2
