Hello, Sorry for the previous message. I've asked a local Unix hacker and undersood my blunder. The .a file is the library code...
Here's the REAL problem description. I am trying to make evolution 1.4.5 from source. I make Berkeley DB from the tarball taken from Ximian FTP. It's installed with a prefix (/home/misha/qqq), as per evo README. Then in the evo source directory I do: $ ./configure --with-db3-includes=/home/misha/qqq/include --with-db3-libs=/home/misha/qqq/lib The output ends as follows: checking for db3 compiler flags... -I/home/misha/qqq/include checking db.h usability... yes checking db.h presence... yes checking for db.h... yes checking db3 header version... 3.1.17 checking for db3 library name... configure: error: Could not find db3 library So, how can I make it find the db3 library? It's there all right: $ ls /home/misha/qqq/lib libdb.a Yours, Mikhail Ramendik _______________________________________________ evolution-hackers maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
