From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Description of problem: You guys forgot to include all of the devel files in this compat package. These are very necessary for those of us who compile programs from scratch that are written for older versions of Berkley DB (yes, not all of us use RPM exclusively). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): compat-db-4.0.14-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.N/A Actual Results: http://www.squidguard.org/ As an example, here is a well-maintained program that I need to install that specifically requires db2. I can't because half of the devel files are missing from compat-db Expected Results: I should have been able to compile this.
compat-db is not intended to supply a devel environment, only the sonames and libraries necessary for legacy compatibility. Port to db-4.2.52, not hard.
Created attachment 102505 [details] Porting to DB v4.2.52 If you're still scratching your head about squidguard, here's a small tip of what I had to do to forward port Python 1.5.2 to compile against db4 4.2.52.
