Compiling problems

[Lee Dowthwaite]

Hi Florin,

I'm a newbie to bogofilter and also had the same problem. Basically I had an
issue with where my BDB libs were located (they were 4.2 also). In the end -
in desperation - I moved them to /usr/lib (and the includes to
/usr/include). A nasty hack, I know, but it worked :)

However, in retrospect I think I should have done it by pointing configure
at libdb using the switch "--with-libdb-prefix=<path>". This is certainly
the way forward. There was some dodgy information on the web (typos, I
think) which caused me to use a similar but actually deprecated switch for
some time, leading to all manner of confusion. Make sure you don't go down
that route! Actually, ./configure --help is quite clear about which switch
to use - had I taken the time to read it.

Hope this helps,
Lee

Hi everybody,

  I have a system with 2.6.8.1 kernel, gcc 3.4.1, glibc 2.3.3 with nptl
support and db 4.2.52. I have tried to install the new bogofilter 0.92.5
version. It fails with a message saying that it cannot link with the libdb.
  I attach here the config.log file. Thank you for the support.

  Florin
