>Environment:

	cvsup as of 22Jul97 at about 11AM EST. 
	/usr/ports/editors/Makefile is RCS version 1.24

>Description:

	When I tried to build xemacs, it broke while in [src]. Because
it was using the db-2.0 include, and at the end tried to link w/libdb.a,
again in /usr/local.

>How-To-Repeat:

	cd /usr/ports/databases/db
	make install
	cd /usr/ports/editors/xemacs
	make #(Will take a while)

>Fix:
	
	#for me this little ugly kludge worked
	(cd /usr/local/include; mv db.h mvdb.h; mv db_185.h mvdb_185.h)
	(cd /usr/local/lib; mv libdb.a mvlibdb.a)
	#Incase configure has already run
	if test -d /usr/ports/editors/xemacs/work ; then ln -s /usr/lib/libc.a /usr/lib/libdb.a ; fi
