Lonnie You suggested that I need the static version of libdb 3.1.17. Perhaps you (or someone out there) can help me create this. Here is what I have done so far: 1 - Downloaded db-3.1.17.tar.gz from ftp://ftp.ximian.com/pub/source/evolution/. The md5sum of what I downloaded is 5baeb94fb934d0bf783ea42117c400be. (I mention this to completely specify exactly what I downloaded).
2 - Un-tarred it, using tar -xzvf db-3.1.17-2.tar.gz 3 - Moved to the build_unix directory: cd db-3.1.17/build_unix/ 4 - Ran the configure command: ../dist/configure --prefix=/usr/local As far as I can tell (not very far!) this worked OK. 5 - Executed make clean (to be sure I cleared out any stuff left over from various failed attempts) 6 - Executed make, which seemed to work OK. 7 - As root, execute make install, which gave the output: Installing DB include files: /usr/local/include ... Installing DB library: /usr/local/lib ... Installing DB utilities: /usr/local/bin ... Installing documentation: /usr/local/docs ... Again, this seems OK. 8 - Downloaded the evolution archive from the above location, un-bzipped and un-tarred. 9 - Configure evolution, using the command ./configure --prefix=`glib-config --prefix` --with-pisock=/usr/local --enable-pilot-conduits=yes --enable-pilotlinktest --enable-gtk-doc --enable-openssl --with-db3=/usr/local --with-catgets This step failed, with the error message: 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 Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?
