http://packages.debian.org/libdb3++-dev shows that this is also available only in Sarge. "..Package: libdb3++-dev Berkeley v3 Database Libraries for C++ [development] This is the development package which contains headers and static libraries for the Berkeley v3 database library. This is only for programs which will use the C++ interface. Many programs use the Berkeley Database to store their data. Other versions of the database can be found in the db2, db4.0, db4.1 and db4.2 packages.." > The reason I'm using the O'Reilly book is my lack of knowledge about > networking.
