I actually installed BerkeleyBD4.0 and commented out some sections of Modules/Setup that I found related to this. I got the _bsddb.o in the build environment but I still get the same error from bsddb/__init.py__ that it cannot import _bsddb.
Anything I am missing? Where should this _bsddb go exactly? Is it an .so file? Thanks, -JF Martin v.
