RE: Cyrus SASL2 fail to build with Berkeley DB 4.1

["Howard Chu" <hyc@highlandsun.com>]

Is there some reason you can't ask this question on the Cyrus mailing lists?

Are you aware that Cyrus 2.1.2 is quite out of date, and 2.1.12 is the latest
version?

Have you examined the config.log to see why the SASL configure script didn't
use your libdb-4.so ?

Do you understand that GNU/Linux distributions are merely starting points?
There's nothing special or sacred about what they come bundled with. If you
need BDB 4 it makes no difference whether they bundle it or whether you
install it yourself. In general it's better to install it yourself because
the distros always lag behind what is currently available. (Obviously, I say
this from a developer's perspective. You need to be comfortable with the
whole compile/debug process...)
