The db_dump185 in glibc appears to have been linked with -ldb rather than -ldb1. I have packaged the latest db-2.7.5 and verified that I can do db_dump185 on the db1 files in the rpm database. Please send me mail (jbj) verifying that you can receive an attached binary rpm and I will send you a copy of the binary and/or source rpms that include that db_dump185. This is just a workaround; the eventual fix will be in glibc. The db_dump185 in glibc appears to have been linked with -ldb rather than -ldb1.

Now I understand there's some controversey over which database to use GNU or BSD, but a decision must be made. There must be a <ndbm.h> file. <db1/ndbm.h> does not make the standard. (my pick would be the (GNU) gdbm version of ndbm.) ------- Additional Comments From ct7 05/12/99 17:28 ------- reviously RedHat shipped this in glibc-devel-2.0.7-29.i386.rpm; why isn't it being shipped now in glibc-devel-2.1.1-6.i386.rpm? This is a lousy way to treat people who are upgrading from previous versions -- I'm sure I could go back through all of my older RH5.X disks and find that ndbm.h was in /usr/include ... why move it now? The GPL license shouldn't be an issue since the GNU libraries are being delivered as part of the base operating system. db_dump185 needs to be linked with -ldb1 In glibc-2.1.2-1 the db_dump185 binary is linked against the right db library (db1). Package will show up on rawhide shortly. |
