 configure: checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb) fails |
Are you trying to use Berkeley Sleepycat LDBM, and configure bombs out
saying "checking for Berkeley DB link (-ldb) no" and then "no LDBM configured"?
This one had me stumped for a while in HP-UX 11.0. The -ldb was failing because
configure could not find load points for pthreads stuff. So I went back and
looked at how Berkeley 3.1.14 was configured and built on my system. I did
a vanilla configure, and the Makefile contained the following tidbits:
CPPFLAGS= -D_REENTRANT
LIBS= -lpthread
So I changed my configure command to match these items, ie:
CC=cc CFLAGS=-O \
CPPFLAGS="-D_REENTRANT -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.1/include" \
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.1/lib" \
LIBS="-lpthread" \
./configure --with-ldbm-api=berkeley
After that, the configure step quit failing

Additional note: I have had little success using HP's ANSI compiler. The
code won't pass the tests. But it will work with gcc 2.95.2

Note: I have gotten version 2.0.6 to compile (with warnings), load, and pass
the tests when using HP ANSI C compiler. This was not true with 2.0.4 and
2.0.5.
