Just installed updated versions of giFt and giFTcurs thru cvs using debian. When I use search it doesn't give me any results, it doesn't look like it's searching for anything.

Anyone had this problem before? any ideas?

First place to look is always the log files. The giFT log file usually has a pretty descriptive error report.

Thanks for the reply, hmm, I'm not an expert on this but ...

interrupted system call ??!??

I can't get it to do anything for a while now either.So at least you are not alone.
