My latest package viewmol has a -ldb entry in the makefile. I asked on this list where on earth I'd find libdb.so to compile against, and you helpfully pointed me to libdb2-dev.
However, since then, libdb3[-dev] has come out, so I figured I would dutifully compile against it. But to my surprise, I discovered that libdb3-dev does not provide /usr/lib/libdb.[so,a] at all! It only has libdb3.so. I don't understand. Is this a bug? Or is libdb.so forever to be fated identical to libdb2.so ? libdb3[-dev] docs are empty and therefore of no help.
