Gnome-libs 1.2.11 configure error - libdb and dbopen()

[Matt Schalit <mschalit pacbell net>]

Hi Folks, 
I'm new to the list, but I've been trying to compile
gnome-libs for a few weeks :-)


I'm trying to compile gnome-libs-1.2.11 on i586-sco-sysv5uw7.1.1
using gcc 2.95.2.1 and gnu-make 3.79.1.

The configure error says BerkeleyDB 1.85 compatablity is not
available, even though I have BDB 3.1.17 installed, which passed
all it's tests and was compiled with --enable-compat185, so the
185 stuff is there.

Here's my configure command:

  CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.1/include \
  LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.1/lib LIBS="-lsocket -lnsl -pthread" \
  ./configure --x-libraries=/usr/X/lib --x-includes=/usr/X/include --disable-nls


Here's what I know from the config.log:

  1)  libdb.so is being found.

  2)  libdb-3.so is being found.

  3)  the gcc statement to comile a conftest.c in each case
      succeeds, but the ld phase doesn't.

  4)  I always get an error with the ld phase, no matter
      whether it was bdb-2.7.7, 3.1.17, or 3.2.3h.


Please be kind and take a look at the following config.log.
Does this issue ring a bell with anyone?  My apologies if
this is the wrong list.


Thanks,
Matthew
