Libraries have been installed in:

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
- use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'
See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

checking for Berkeley DB with 1.85 compatibility... configure: error: Berkeley DB with 1.85 compatibility not found
Have I done something wrong or is there a compatibility issue here?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Answer 1

Hi,
If you are replacing an existing build that didn't include --enable-compat185 the first time, you'll want to do a 'make realclean' before reconfiguring and rebuilding Berkeley DB.
On the other hand, you should know that it is possible that the program looking for Berkeley DB is not looking in the place in which you installed the Berkeley DB build. You can ask the support group for the software using DB how their software finds the DB library, they should be able to help you with this question.
Please let me know if this worked.
Thanks,
Bogdan
