theharvester doesn't output anything

[ld4lpha]

I have run theharvester from a root shell, and it drops no output. I then cloned the git repo and ran the script directly from within that cloned directory, and it works as expected. I haven't delved too deeply into figuring this one out, and am wondering if anyone has seen this before and/or has any idea why this is happening. Any help is much appreciated!

The output of both commands is below (the bottom one is clipped for brevity):


root@hostname:/home/ld4lpha# theharvester -d cnn.com -b all -l 300 > /home/ld4lpha/Desktop/harvest
