Is that of any significance?
No. It means that xastir's configure found a Berkeley DB header file and the library --- but configure doesn't check their compatibility, and so you wind up with the broken set-up you have. Someone with time might want to look at how configure does that autodetection and augment it with a compatibility check, but that's for another time. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 AHTB#1 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
