Check config.log for details on why db_open() does not appear
to be in -ldb.

Hi Kurt, I just did a 
nm /usr/local/lib/libdb.a | grep db_open

/usr/libexec/elf/nm: cxx_txn.o: File format not recognized

Could be some issue with a.out and ELF format

I shall try the ports (though, I recollect doing it and getting the same
error)

Compiling out of ports
cd /usr/ports/database/db ; make

Then recompiling openldap-1.1.2

Everything just flies
I guess the package was designed for a.out stuff and not for ELF
thingies. Should check with the portmaister at FreeBSD on this

I consider this report closed

Yusuf,

have you made a make veryclean and ./configure anew. When there remain old
config.cache files, the build will not perform correctly.

Another point I could mention is, that I always use the LIBS environment
variable instead of LDFLAGS. Switching from one DB version to the other is
no problem, then.

Please  make really sure that you start with the new DB from scratch.


Regards,
Kurt

Hi Kurt (The other Kurt helped me by asking me to look why db_open was
not found, so I did a nm /usr/local/lib/libdb. and I got an error
stating that file format not recognized)

so, I deleted the package and built it from scratch from the ports
now nm gives no such errors, and the build proceeds smoothly.

I have sent a message to freebsd-ports asking for some information about
this package
