Re: Gnome-libs 1.2.7 configuration problem on solaris 2.7

["Ben Taylor" <sol7x86 hotmail com>]

export LDFLAGS="-L<your db lib dir> -R<your db lib dir>" when
you configure.  If you have the C++ extension compiled in
there, you'll have to hack configure to add -lstdc++ to the
LIBS variable before it checks for libdb.

This works on BerkeleyDB-2.2.7, not sure about 3.x

HTH,

Ben
