Try deleting the /opt/mediawiki/lucene-search-2.1.3/indexes/search/wiki.links directory before running build.

Is there any way to prevent this from happening? I have noticed that Rainman's workaround works however the problem seems to re-occur on a regular basis. I suppose I could set up a cronjob to delete it periodically however there must be a better way.

UPDATE: Nevermind guys I just made a bash script which deletes the links file and then executes the build script. I just replaced my normal cron job build script with this. Thanks
