Hi, I have seen this on a machine with two versions of Berkeley DB installed. If you do too, read on.
If berkeley db 4.5 is found, CF_OLD_DB gets defined, and Cfengine uses the berkeley db 4.5 api. But if berkeley db 4.7 is installed also, Cfengine may try link to these functions. Thus we try to call a function in berkeley db 4.7 by using the api of 4.5, which doesn't work. There are a few ways to fix this. If no other app depends on berkeley db 4.5 or 4.7, uninstall one of them using the package manager. Then rerun configure and make. If you want to keep both versions, you need to open src/instrumentation.c in a text editor, and replace the lines --- #ifdef CF_OLD_DB if ((errno = ((*dbp)->open)(*dbp,filename,NULL,DB_BTREE,DB_CREATE,0644)) != 0) #else if ((errno = ((*dbp)->open)(*dbp,NULL,filename,NULL,DB_BTREE,DB_CREATE,0644)) != 0) #endif --- with --- if ((errno = ((*dbp)->open)(*dbp,NULL,filename,NULL,DB_BTREE,DB_CREATE,0644)) != 0) --- and rerun configure and make. If you get the same error in some other file, do the same there too. Good luck. --Eystein On Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 5:49 PM, <mashtin.ba...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks, that got me further.
