The funny thing is, I'm not even sure if viewmol actually uses libdb. -ldb just happens to be sitting there in the makefile. I can't find any "db_*" entries in the source. Is there any more sophisticated manner of checking actual usage of a library than removing -ldb from the makefile and seeing what breaks? And could anyone tell me which command displays the functions contained in a library? I know there's something, but I can't remember it.
