The traceback is

which says Popen can't execute cmd because of the Errno2, No such file 
or directory.

cmd is whatever you have configured for HTDIG_HTSEARCH_PATH in 
mm_cfg.py. The default in Defaults.py is

HTDIG_HTSEARCH_PATH = '/usr/local/bin/htsearch'

Does HTDIG_HTSEARCH_PATH contain a path to the htdig htsearch program in 
your installation?
