RE: can't compile gnome-libs 1.2.13

[corner chello at]

I solved the problem I think.  The problem was the wrong version of db. I
picked up Berkeley db-2.7.7 from http://www.sleepycat.com/update/index.html .
I configured it with the enable 1.85 compatability option.  It installed in
/usr/local/BerkeleyDB and I moved it to /usr. Now gnome-libs compiles!

Gott sei dank
