Ok. I think FreeBSD installs the headers for each version in different directories so, theoretically, you can have multiple versions installed and compiled against without interference, you just have to manually specify where the headers and libraries are. My system has 4.1 and 4.3 installed and it seems to work ok. I've just realised there's a mechanism in the FreeBSD ports system for dealing with this. You specify something like USE_BDB=41+ in the port makefile and it will use the highest version installed. If none is installed then it will install 4.1. I'll setup the FreeBSD Xastir port to use this. Thanks! Carl.
