Okay, so I made it out. I noticed that the ___db185_open missing symbol
was not referenced in the mc code, therefore it was being unresolved by
the gnome metadata code in gnome-libs, which was the library that I duct
taped by adding a -ldb. So I figured I better look back at that patch,
and it turns out I made a mistake. I put -ldb when linking a test
program, not the library itself. So all subsequent references to
gnome-metadata primitives produced this link error. So basically I
rebuilt gnome-libs with -ldb while linking libgnome itself, and the
gnome libs test program and mc were both happy. I have two comments
about stuff that does seem to be broken.
Problem 1: I was reminded while doing a gratuitious "fink rebuild db3"
that the db package actually seems messed up. Do that with db 3.3.11-6
and then build gnome-libs 1.4.1.4-3. Breakage:
checking for dbopen... yes
checking for db.h... no
checking for db_185.h... no
checking for db1/db.h... yes
okay so far, barf on compile. It looks like it's using the wrong
headers. I know there's a FAQ on this, BTW. Continuing:
[localhost:/sw/src] root# ls -l /sw/include/db1/db.h
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 57225 Jul 12 23:22 /sw/include/db1/db.h
[localhost:/sw/src] root# ls -l /sw/include/db3/db.h
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 57225 Jul 12 23:22 /sw/include/db3/db.h
Hmm, looks like if I went sniffing in the db1 directory I would not be
expecting to be finding a db3 header. So blindly let's try this:
[localhost:/sw/src] cp /sw/include/db1/db_185.h /sw/include/db1/db.h
Bang. It works. Looks to me either the db3 package needs rearranging,
the gnome-libs package needs a better configure script, or both. But
I'm not an expert as to which. Decide for yourself.
Problem 2: libgnome's nonexistant -ldb. Add this to the 1.4.1.4-3 patch:
diff -uN gnome-libs-1.4.1.4.old/libgnome/Makefile.in gnome-
libs-1.4.1.4.new/lib\

Okay, that's it. Sorry to be a pest today. Thanks for those of you who
helped.
