All,
Have never had this problem before.. with Exim-3.16 and 3.20 and RedHat 5.x and 6.x
machines I just un-tarred the Exim tarball, edited/made the Local/Makefile and compiled
and we are off...
Now I come to put Exim 3.31 on a RedHat 7.0 machine and I am chasing myself
round in circles with libraries.... the default configuration doesn't work... do I install
gdbm, db2.x, db3.x? Do I recursively hack at Exim's headers and include files?
The RH 7.0 machine appears to have DB 1.85, GDBM and DB 3.0 already installed:
[root@pendragon RPMS]# rpm -ivh db1*
package db1-1.85-4 is already installed
package db1-devel-1.85-4 is already installed
[root@pendragon RPMS]#
[root@pendragon RPMS]# rpm -ivh gdbm-*
package gdbm-1.8.0-5 is already installed
package gdbm-devel-1.8.0-5 is already installed
[root@pendragon RPMS]# rpm -ivh db3-3.1.14-6.i386.rpm
package db3-3.1.14-6 is already installed
[root@pendragon RPMS]
Fairly early in the build process it breaks:

I don't know if the RH guys' RPMs are built with "non standard" Exim options
which work... I would rather compile Exim from the source so I can control
what features are in and what is out.
Questions?
1. What are the *right* libraries for Exim and RH 7.x ? recommendations?
2. What do I have to hack in the OS directory to get it to build?
