Re: can't compile gnome-libs 1.4

[Jean-Francois Ondedieu <jfonde fr inter net>]

Yes, it seems that the DB lib is missing or you have a DB version 3 ou
upper. Remember that to make gnome libs compile, you must have the
following installed on your system:
gettext > 0.10.35
DocBook
libpng > 1.03
libtiff 
libgiff
libungif (seems that this one superseedes the previous one)
Zlib > 1.1.3
libjpeg
xpm
DB lib V 2.77 (not 3.xx !!!)
Imlib
ORBIT
Gtk+

You may find DBlib at : www.sleepycat.com/dowload/patches
Take care, you must download version 2.7.7 only (not any version 3++) !

If you have DB version 3 or up installed (check your packages with rpm -e
-a), I think that you have to uninstall it before installing the version
2.7.7

To make it work (after unpacking, of course), go into
[...]/db-2.7.7/build_unix/ directory and type the following command:
./dist/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-compat185
CAVEAT: it is mostly important to enable the 1.8.5 compatibility
(--enable-compat185)
Then type make and make install
The DB lib will be installed in /usr/BerkeleyDB, so if you want it to work
you must either:
edit Makefile before doing make and change the install directory (the
easiest way)
   or
copy /usr/BerkeleyDB/bin/* in /usr/bin and /usr/BerkeleyDB/lib/* in
/usr/lib and /usr/BerkeleyDB/include/* in /usr/include (can be done)
   or
declare /usr/BerkeleyDB/bin in PATH and /usr/BerkeleyDB/lib in LDPATH (if
you have it). in that case, you must edit the Makefile used to compile
gnomelibs and add -I/usr/BerkeleyDB/include in $OPTS (harmfull, not
recommended)

Then type ldconfig (this is mandatory)

I hope this will help. Good luck !
