I have the following:
exim@chinstrap:~> ls /usr/include/db*
/usr/include/db_185.h /usr/include/db.h
/usr/include/db_cxx.h /usr/include/dbm.h
/usr/include/db4:
db_185.h db_cxx.h db.h
/usr/include/db40:
cxx_common.h cxx_except.h db_185.h db_cxx.h db.h
/usr/include/db41:
cxx_common.h cxx_except.h db_185.h db_cxx.h db.h
and
exim@chinstrap:~> ls /usr/lib/libdb*
/usr/lib/libdb-3.1.so /usr/lib/libdb-4.2.la /usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.2.a
/usr/lib/libdb-3.3.so /usr/lib/libdb-4.so /usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.2.la
/usr/lib/libdb-4.0.a /usr/lib/libdb.a /usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.2.so
/usr/lib/libdb-4.0.la /usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.0.a /usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.so
/usr/lib/libdb-4.0.so /usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.0.la /usr/lib/libdb_cxx.a
/usr/lib/libdb-4.1.a /usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.0.so /usr/lib/libdb_cxx.so
/usr/lib/libdb-4.1.la /usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.1.a /usr/lib/libdb.so
/usr/lib/libdb-4.2.a /usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.1.la /usr/lib/libdb.so.3
and as Philip suggested,
LOOKUP_DBM=yes
USE_DB=yes
DBMLIB=/usr/lib/libdb-4.0.a
INCLUDE=-I/usr/include/db4
And it gives the same problem.
The permissons are ok. I have installed various versions of exim at two
different Universities, and on at least 10 different Sun machines and
never encountered any problem. This is my first attempt with SuSE and
it is hopeless.
