OK, this has me completely puzzled. GDBM compiles, installs, and with effort works fine, but it's the effort part that has me stumped. In short, the only way this library works, whether I compile by hand or by the entry in /usr/ports/databases/gdbm, is if I use -L/usr/local/lib. LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LD_RUN_PATH, nothing else works but that. Which means, for one thing, that GNU configure scripts never find it. The odd thing is, if I install 2.2.8-R on a machine, and install, either by hand or ports,GDBM, it works perfectly fine. I have tried this on at least 6 installations of 3.x since it went RELEASE, and it is still happening. All other libraries in /usr/local/lib (readline, for one...) seem to work fine. This has me really puzzled as to why, exactly, it is happening. Does anyone know why this happens? How it can be fixed? I am setting up this machine as a haven for MUSHes, many of which have existing databases based on gdbm, and this makes getting them set up on my machines a lot harder than it should be. :/ CCing the maintainer of GDBM in case s/he has insite.
