When the SleepyCat DB port (.../databases/db) is installed in
/usr/local/lib it appears as libdb2.a . It there any reason why it
can't be installed as just libdb.a? Would doing so conflict with the
standard db lib in /usr/lib?
This has come to light when trying to build OpenLDAP against DB2. Its
configure script seems to want to only scan for DB2-ish routines in a
library named libdb.a . The OpenLDAP folks claim that this is correct
and that the FreeBSD DB port should be changed.
What do you think?
Thanks,
---
