Good: I can likely help with build issues efficiently because its easy for me to
check in a patch and to add reasonable build options on Mac OS X.
You might want to read through the developer "cheat sheet" for how to build
from CVS in INSTALL.developer.
Note that the rpm-5.4 branch is expecting Berkeley DB 5.2.x with
includes in
${prefix}/include/db52
and libraries in
${prefix}/lib/libdb52*
So you can save yourself some pain by installing db-5.2.x until
you get a complete build. Any version of Berkeley DB back to
db-4.5.x will suffice and its not impossibly hard to patch in
what is needed.
But the rpm-5_4 branch in CVS is most definitely expecting
db-5.2.x to be installed.
