hi! I tried to use the FAQ [1] with the latest SBCL, BDB and Elephant, but open-store fails on Berkeley databases. I did recompile BerkeleyDB 4.7 after applying the patches advised but the magic line for setting the architecture failed:
This line from the FAQ: CCFLAGS="-arch x86_64" LDFLAGS="-arch x86_64" ../dist/configure Threw this error: configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables I looked up "man cc" but the "-arch" option is only documented to work under Darwin. uname -a returns: Linux chaar 2.6.31-9-rt #152-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT RT Thu Oct 15 13:22:24 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux So I am using Ubuntu Karmic Koala with amd64 architecture and a preemptive kernel. My guess is that the compilation was OK and there is another problem. Should I create something like a database before I try open-store or it is enough to have an open and writable directory?
