Ah, that sounds reasonable, but on the other hand, the 1.85 version has
some bugs in it (thats at least, what the people at mozilla say: "1.85
isn't just dead, it's beginning to smell bad"). And 2.0 is much easier to
install (its autoconf'ed). It's been a bit of pain for me to install 1.85.
So it should at least be the suggestion to install db 2.0 and not 1.85. (I
do at the moment not know, whether it already is or not, at the point my
gnome-libs-configure bailed out, it wasn't though)

Bye
Sebastian
