Rob,

Thanks for the link.  I've successfully recompiled the Berkeley db and I
was able to get through configure.  Now I'm having a problem during the
actual compilation process.  Here's the error:

======================================================

This appears to be related to the db 1.85 package.  Is this telling me
that it can't find the db_185.h header file where __db185_open is
defined, or is there a problem with the library that I built?

Thanks,
Aaron Ginn
