Hi,
Playing around with the autoconf stuff I recently found myself not
being able to compile nmh anymore. The weird thing is that a fresh copy
of nmh-1.0.4 fails to compile as well. What happens is that the checks
for the ndbm stuff finds the .h file but no library to link with.
Looking at the glibc sources I find this:
* We have incorporated the 4.4 BSD `db' library (version 1.85). New
header
files <db.h> and <mpool.h> provide a rich set of functions for several
types of simple databases stored in memory and in files, and <ndbm.h>
is
an old `ndbm'-compatible interface using the `db' functions. Link
with
`-ldb' to get these functions.
Well, -ldb does not solve the problem. In fact the rpm for
glibc{-devel} does not contain any libdb* at all. I've checked with an
rh6.2 box and it's glibc has the necessary libdb*.
What's happening? I'd be glad to hear from anyone who's running RedHat
7.0, and has successfully compiled nmh-1.0.4.
