error in compilation of berkeley DB


hi all,
i am installing Berkeley Db using the HLFS book. I get the following error when i run make:

creating db_archive
/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=execute true db_archive
make: *** [db_archive] Segmentation fault
make: *** Deleting file `db_archive'

i scanned through the ./libtool file to find "--mode=execute true" but dint get the clear picture.

Can anyone please help me solve this ? and also explain the libtool command line options [ execute and true ]

The following is the details:

processor : AMD64
db version : db-4.5.20 [ even tried 4.4.20 and 4.6.18 ]
configured as : ../dist/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-compat185
--enable-cxx

let me know if more details are needed
--
Thank you

You should review the logs and they will point you to what is missing, I'm sure you don't have everything installed that needs to be in respect to devel or lib packages.

It would probably help if we knew your distro, version, and arch.

Question

Thanks for the replies..

@lazlow
Here are the details:

arch : amd athlon 64 bit
distro : general linux (compiled using HLFS book)
linux kernel version : 2.6.24.7

@kentyler:

I have installed linux from scratch and now installing the required application package. So i hope i have installed all the required packages. As given in LFS book there are optional dependencies for DB (tcl and JDK) which i ahve installed. The error says seg fault and nothing more in the log.

Did you compile it 32bit or 64bit (you can do either with your hardware)?

there should be a config.log created in that directory which will have the details prior to the segmentation fault.

@kentyler:

i hope config.log contains the details of the configuration for which the package is being installed, such as cache variables, output variables blha blha. So there is no means to get the details of compilation in config.log. If i am wrong please do correct me.

Thank you
