doesn't mention libdb as a dependency.
I'm trying to build gnumeric on a:
uname -a
SunOS <hostname_not_applicable> 5.8 Generic_108528-16 sun4u sparc
SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIi-Engine
which doesn't have libdb installed on it already.
I went to www.sleepycat.com and downloaded and built their latest
version, but (as shown below) it doesn't have a 1.85 compatibility mode.
Can someone point me to the best place to get a gnumeric-compatible
libdb? (a filename would be helpful if it's not obvious).
Below is my configure error message:

Hmm. Gnumeric does not depend on libdb. That test must be coming
from the gnome default tests somehow. What version of gnumeric is
this ? My first guess would be that any version of libdb is ok, but
you need to compile it with the 1.85 compatibility enabled. I have
not needed to look at that in a long time.
Get the most recent libdb from www.sleepycat.com, configure the source with the --enable-compat185 parameter,
and build the db libraries. Then, be certain to include the db install directory in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable, or copy or link the libdb files into a directory already on your library path. Be sure
that you get rid of any old copies of both the library and include files.
