Ben!

That was the right answer.  You saved me, thanks!
Of course, gmake failed, but that's a whole nother story :)

According to the folks at Sleepycat, libdb-3.1.so should have
had __db185_open in it, as shown to me with an nm output, but
mine didn't have it, even though I used --enable-compat185.
And my DB-3.1.17 passed the entire testsuite, so we'll have to see
what they say.

Be well,
Matt
