Hi
Ok, I got it built. It appears that the libdb-4.1.so (/usr/lib) that
you get on gentoo with emerge is "incomplete" or something but if I use
the one I compiled from Sleepycat directly (in /usr/local/lib in my
case) it is fine. I am not a Linux/gcc build guru but it appears that
the ldconfig stuff only affects at runtime, not compile time? The
ldconfig shows the /usr/local/lib version listed first but the /usr/lib
was being used to compile. I had to explicitly stick a
-L/usr/local/lib in the DBMLIB line of the Makefile-Linux makefile in
the OS directory.
My running exim binary also got fixed by making sure any damage I did
to the libdb load priorities and library files was fixed :-)
Best
Chad
