Re: -ldb1



It is a compatibility library if you have berkeley db 2.x, and want to
read db 1.x format databases (note that even though db 2.x provides an API
compatibility layer, the storage format is different).  If you are using a
red hat 5.x system, or some other one without db 2.x installed (I think db
2.x comes with glibc 2.1 BTW), you could probably make a symlink from
libdb.so to libdb1.so in /usr/lib.

This is really a bug in the configure script of those programs though, so
you should alert the authors.
