The short of it: A number of debian sources won't compile because of the following problem:
usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldb >From previous posts I learned the problem has something to do with libdb-something. I checked my system. I seem to have some sort of libdb installed. debian:/# dpkg -L libc6-dev | grep "libdb" /usr/lib/libdb1.so debian:/# dpkg -l | grep "libdb" ii libdb2 2.4.14-2.7.7.1 The Berkeley database routines (run-time fil ii libdb2-dev 2.4.14-2.7.7.1 The Berkeley database routines (development ii libdb2-util 2.4.14-2.7.7.1 The Berkeley database routines (development debian:/# dpkg -L libdb2-dev | grep "libdb2.so" /usr/lib/libdb2.so What am I missing? Can someone suggest a working workaround? The compilation failure hits a number of gtk/gnome programs that I want in their rawest, latest form (programs which incidentally compile cleanly in my Mandrake): gnucash, gtktalog, screem. -- Just testing this signature thing!
