libdb would be the Berkely database library. This is a fairly standard library, so I'd be very surprised if you didn't have the run-time package installed. Whenever you're trying to compile a package and get errors about not finding a library, it usually means you don't have the development package for that library installed. Running "apt-cache search libdb dev" will show you that you need to install either libdb2-dev or libdb3-dev, depending on the version you already have installed (I'd try libdb3). -- Pete -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
