Re: Re: make problems
try rather a symlink ln -s /lib/libdb1.so /lib/libdb.so it will be easier than trying to modify an autoconf-generated makefile. Cheer up, you'll get it done :-) Romain Begin Original Message From: jdls [EMAIL PROTECTED] I had a similar problem with compiling mod_dav from source (this is using debian testing). For some reason, ld couldn't find libdb, even though it was available in /lib/ (or /usr/lib, I can't remember) and ldconfig was finding it ok. My solution was to replace -ldb with -ldb1 in the Makefile. You don't actually have to replace the -ldb, you just have to make sure -ldb1 is there somewhere. I think I got libdb1 from the libdb1 package. -- hi, How do I replace the -ldb with ldb1 in the Makefile? or how do I make *sure* that -lbd1 is there *somewhere* so that gnome_dialup will compile correctly... I really like that gnome_dialup..

Re: make problems
thanks Cris, installing libdb2-dev did the job...I wish that apt-cache can do regex searches in the future..that can make life a lot simpler for people like me.

Re: make problems
-ldb mean link to library libdb: /lib/libdb.so.2 it's in package libc6, so it's *strange* that you can't find it. for such things you can search pacakges.debian.org.

Re: make problems
hi, In answer to your questions no, I did not run ./configure in my own directory I just downloaded a tar.gz file into the new a directory in the new partition (since I no longer have any diskspace in my root partion containing my home directories) symlinked to my home directory. e.g. ln -s /mnt/ext/hda7/foo /home/user/foo. that didd;nt work so I also created another symlink ln -s /home/user/foo /mnt/ext/hda7/foo to maybe try to make it work but still to no avail. if I executed make from the root partition all goes well so I think maybe I am symlinking the wrong directories? that is why make does'nt execute from the new partition? if so, what can I do abt this?
