Hi Folks,

CVS 'configure' fails on FreeBSD. I'm no good with autotools but did 
discover if I patched it thus...

...it would. Had to add -I/usr/local/include/db3 to CPPFLAGS with 
'configure' as well but that's no matter.

I couldn't figure out where lib/catalog/Makefile was getting its "-ldb" 
from so hacked that Makefile manually. :-|

The arrangement I have here is (in /usr/local/...)

db2/db.h
libdb2.a libdb2.so etc

db3/db.h
libdb3.a libdb3.so etc

db4/db.h
libdb4.a libdb4.so etc

db.h appears to be part of the system (/usr/include) and iirc is sat 
inside something fundamental like libc and is actually db2 - sure I 
read that snippet somewhere.

Hopefully it helps someone! ;-)
