Hi, Simon.   Can you send me the output of config.status?

Also, are you setting the environment variables on the command line, or exporting them in the environment before running make? Can you send a snippet showing your compilation process? (starting with a fresh port extract, naturally)

Hello there,
it appears that an old(ish) bug has come back in the cfengine port?
Its compiling with the oldest existing BDB version found on the system.
Tested on both 7.0 and 6.3 with the same result.

Configure says:
===>   cfengine-2.2.7 depends on shared library: db-4.6.0 - found
but then 4.0 is linked.
I have found this to be perfectly repeatable, and reversable (if old
versions are removed, it works with 4.6).

let me know if i can be of further assistance, and thank you for your
time,

Current maintainer is rather unresponsive and Jo Rhett (CCed) is very
active and responsive about this port.

Jo, can you help here? Thanks!

Thank you Boris.
Some more info from my digging... forgive my complete unfamiliarity, this is deeper than I usually venture into the workings of the ports tree.

As far as I can tell, the ports tree makefile (ports/sysutils/ cfengine/Makefile) gets it right, it appears that environment variables passed to the cfengine configure script (ports/sysutils/ cfengine/work/cfengine-2.2.7/configure) are ignored. That is, cfengine seems to want the command line argument --with- berkleydb= and we seem to be passing the information as an environment variable, which quickly gets overwritten with the string 'default'

The evidence being that the first place i see any reference to the *old* bdb, is when the cfengine package's configure script says "checking for BerkeleyDB location in default... Found header in /usr/ local/include/db4"
