I had some difficulties with htdog (sic) as well. It assumes too much. I solved
problems by first specifying a lot of explicit paths:

./configure --prefix=/fs/mailman/search \
 --with-config-dir=/fs/mailman/wwwconfig \
 --with-common-dir=/fs/mailman/wwwconfig \
 --with-database-dir=/fs/mailman/wwwdb \
 --with-cgi-bin-dir=/fs/mailman/cgi-bin \
 --with-image-dir=/fs/lists/htdocs/htdig \
 --with-search-dir=/fs/lists/htdocs/htdig 

Then building the initial database using as much verbosity as possible:
/fs/mailman/search/bin/rundig -c /fs/mailman/wwwconfig/htdig.conf -s -v
and starting the cronjob with same
/fs/mailman/search/bin/rundig -c /fs/mailman/wwwconfig/htdig.conf -s -v

The "-v" in both of the above should show you what it's looking for.
(I just happen to break apart wwwdb and common purposely to reduce the
possibility of a deadlock on cron rebuild and cp from wwwdb in common
later)
