Good.

Your next stopping point is going to be Berkeley DB as a pre-requisite.

Either install db-6.2.23 (which needs the one line patch posted last week), or
edit configure.ac to change
DBXY=62
and every occurrence of "-6,2” in macros like this
  RPM_CHECK_LIB(
[Berkeley-DB], [db],
[db-6.2], [db_create], [db.h],
[yes,external], [db3],

Choosing options and installing pre-requisites is far from easy however.

Can you attempt a stanza for devtool.conf? There are myriad examples.


Just tried

./devtool system

which ended in

++ executing failure action
++ searching location: /usr/lib64
configure: error: Unknown location specification /usr/lib64

I'm on Debian Testing, which does not have /usr/lib64 - I could dig to 
see where that comes from, but thought you'd be interested in this/can 
quickly suggest a fix.

Right, didn't notice this in devtool.conf. Nevermind.
