This file is created in ~hobbit/data/www/bb.html. Could you see if that 
file is being created, if it is being updated, and whether it contains
any data ? While you're at it, check permissions on the file - it should
be writable by the hobbit userid.

This may happen once when Hobbit is started, but it is a problem if
it shows up every time bbgen runs (once a minute). Does it ?


What happens if you run this command as the hobbit user:

   bbcmd bbgen 


The problem with your CGI programs is probably the /usr/local/lib
not being in the default library search path. Simplest solution is
to use the "crle" utility to add /usr/local/lib to the system default
library search path. Alternatively, put
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
in /etc/hobbit/hobbitcgi.cfg. You can also put that LD_LIBRARY_PATH
setting into hobbitserver.cfg (without the "export" line) for the
benefit of the other Hobbit utilities.
