gnome-libs, compiling with gcc-2.95.2, on solaris 8

[adam morley <axm135 po cwru edu>]

I'm getting an error message trying to run configure on gnome-libs-1.2.8:

checking for dbopen in -ldb... no
checking for dbopen in -ldb1... no
configure: error: Your db library is missing db 1.85 compatibility mode

so basically, im looking for a way to get this "db" library.  I looked on 
freshmeat.net, but found nothing.  Any ideas?

the config.log entries are below.  Note that the GNU C library isn't 
supported on solaris 8 yet

thanks,
adam
