compiling gnome-libs-1.4.1.2; DB 1.85

[Martin Schultheiss <mail martin-schultheiss de>]

Hi!

I`ve problems compiling gnome-libs to built gnome myself.

The doc tells me DB 1.85 or DB 2.0 with DB 1.85-support is required to
built gnome-libs. But i could only find DB 3.3. I compiled DB 3.3 with
DB 1.85-support, but compiling of gnome-libs fails and I get an
error-message that DB 1.85 or compatible DB is not installed.

I don't know if this it the right mailinglist, I didn't find a better
one. If it's not, please tell me.

Does anybody know whether gnome-libs is compatible with DB 3.3 and how I
get it work?
Is it possible to compile gnome-libs without DB?
What is DB used for?

Thanks for your help.
