	Yes. Those "." are actually "/" (they get substituted by
nnir), so the path actually is:

/home/reader//glimpse_index
            ^^
then your "glimpse-m" is not there. This is the part in nnir.el from
where glimpse gets called:

      (call-process nnir-glimpse-program
                    nil                 ; input from /dev/null
                    t                   ; output
                    nil                 ; don't redisplay
                    "-H" nnir-glimpse-home ; search home dir
			^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
		    ...
			
note that the value of nnir-glimpse-home is inserted "as is". Your
problem then can only reside on the setting of that variable. I have, 

(require 'nnir)
(setq nnir-glimpse-home "/path/to/index")
...

and it works fine. Why don't you load nnir.el (not nnir.elc) and then
edebug nnir-run-glimpse, that way you'll be sure of what value of
nnir-glimpse-home is using (and why).

hth,
Francisco
