Yeah, I ran into problems with Berkeley DB3 when I first installed Cyrus.
My system was a Slackware 7.1, then, and I had the same sorts of problems.
As things stand now, I'm still using my custom compile of Berkeley DB3 as
opposed to the ones that just came out. I deleted those after installing
the new glibcso.tgz and glibc.tgz packages. Sorta partial to my compiles,
at this point. Getting Cyrus, SASL, and Sendmail to all compile was a pain,
but I managed it. :-)
