hi,
you don't say if you are installing as system version or as extra version
or for that matter which version you are installing
generally speaking db as you have noticed comes with some build directories
cd ./build_unix
../dist/configure
you should also go to
http://dev.sleepycat.com/downloads/r...istorybdb.html
and get the patches if any for the version you are using
and use at least
../dist/configure --enable-compat185 --enable-cxx
(--enable-java and --enable-tcl ?)
when i did 4.52 i had to use
make LIBSO_LIBS="-lpthread" LIBXSO_LIBS="-lpthread"
to get native threads to link right
also at the end the installed files will have the permissions of the user who compiled them so either compile as root or
(for system you should use --prefix=/usr in the config otherwise change below to /usr/local or wherever)
chown root:root /usr/bin/db_* /usr/lib/libdb* /usr/include/db*
