Assumpte: [exim] error building on gentoo Linux (4.22) "undefined reference to `db_create'"
Well, as part of my test on why my exim started to behave differently
(see 503 AUTH post) when I switched out Mandrake and put gentoo
underneath it, I decided to rebuild my exim binaries on the new system,
using the same source (exim 4.22)and Local/Makefile that I had used for
the current binaries.

I did a make clean and then a make makefile and a make and I get this:

gcc -o exim_dbmbuild exim_dbmbuild.o \
-lnsl -lcrypt -ldb
exim_dbmbuild.o(.text+0x2be): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `db_create'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [exim_dbmbuild] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/space/kits/exim-4.22/build-Linux-i386'
make: *** [go] Error 2


I also tried it with libgdbm. Exact same error... Both libdb and
libgdbm are installed on the server and are found when doing ldconfig
-p .

Here are the files in /usr/lib

and the ldconfig stuff

         libgdbm.so.3 (libc6) => /usr/local/lib/libgdbm.so.3
         libgdbm.so.2 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2
         libgdbm.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libgdbm.so
         libgdbm.so (libc6) => /usr/local/lib/libgdbm.so
         libdb_cxx-4.1.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.1.so
         libdb.so.2 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libdb.so.2
         libdb-4.1.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libdb-4.1.so
         libdb-4.1.so (libc6) => /usr/local/lib/libdb-4.1.so


(the ones in /usr/local/lib are also really there)

I have not had this problem before building exim. I am normally a BSD
person and use FreeBSD and have not had a problem there nor did I have
a problem previously on this customer Linux box.

Any of you who are better Linux gurus in terms of building stuff;
thoughts and hints would be appreciated.

Thanks
