Which bdb versions do you have installed?

Yes, probably it would be best to provide additional configure options, e.g. `--with-bdb-incdir=DIR' and `--with-bdb-libdir=DIR' as Cyrus IMAP's configure script does. But maybe it's easier to use QDBM instead... ;-) Regards, Jukka -- bashian roulette: $ ((RANDOM%6)) || rm -rf ~
