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, --- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles N.
