[Evolution-hackers] libdb problem tryinh to compile 1.2.0 sources

[Paul Hands]

Hi all,

I read the knowledge base article on what to with libdb3.1.17, and did as suggested by clicking on the link to sleepycat.com.
I made a directory, /export/home/evolution, then a subdirectory libdb, inside which the db-3.1.17 directory contains the results of unpacking the tar.gz file.

Also in /export/home/evolution is the evolution source directory, evolution-1.2.0.  Inside there, I run :-
./configure --with-db3=/export/home/libdb and I get
.
.
.

checking for db3 compiler flags... -I/export/home/evolution/libdb/include
checking for db.h... no
checking for db3/db.h... no
checking db3 header version... configure: error: Found db.h is not version 3.1.17

OK, maybe wrong pathname, so :-

./configure --with-db3=/export/home/libdb/ db-3.1.17 and I get...

checking for db3 compiler flags... -I/export/home/evolution/libdb/db-3.1.17/include
checking for db.h... no
checking for db3/db.h... no
checking db3 header version... configure: error: Found db.h is not version 3.1.17

So I try ./configure with no arguments :-

checking for db3 compiler flags...
checking for db.h... no
checking for db3/db.h... no
checking db3 header version... configure: error: Found db.h is not version 3.1.17

Looking in the place where I put the libdb, the only db.h files are in the build_win32, build_vms or build_vxworks directories.  I've attempted pointing configure to those, but no dice.

What am I doing wrong?
