RE: Fix for Red Hat 9.0 Berkeley DB Error

[Wheeler, John]

actually a better way ( I can't take credit for this though*, and by better I 
mean that I don't have to patch/edit files ) is to do 

./configure  BERKELEY_DB_LIB=-ldb

I found that

./configure BERKELEY_DB_LIB=-ldb-4.0 

works as well.

honestly though, I haven't actually tested the resulting binary after a 
successful make (I'll be doing that shortly).

Subject: Fix for Red Hat 9.0 Berkeley DB Error


In order for configure to run, and not report a BerkeleyDB error, on Red Hat 
9.0. The following line in the Berkeley DB section
(Line 7608 of cfengine-2.1.0b5):

                if test -f "$d/include/$v/db.h" ; then

should be changed to:

                if test -f "$d/include/$v/db.h" -a -f "$d/lib/lib$v.so" ; then
