BerkeleyDB not available

That's what I get when I ./configure openeldap. I did get the Berkeley package and it seemed to install fine. I mean I had no errors. Then I move on to installing Openldap and I always get this message. Someone said to edit ld.so.conf with the BerkeleyDB path and I did, but still no cigar. A friend of mine is working on the same project(sendmail & Openldap) and he made that same edit and it worked for him. The difference is that I'm running an alpha box. I even ran some ./configure switches like "·--build=alphaev56-unknown-linux-gnu --enable-bdb --threads?"

Any direction would work! Thanks!

Did you run ldconfig after you updated the ld configuration file?

Just a thought...

Neo, thanks! I have tried the ldconfig with no luck in the past and none again. Actually, the fella who advised me about editing the ld.so.conf file suggested that as well.

I did however, use the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS variables to resolve the bdb error. I'll now move on to the rest of the build process and installation. Thanks again, Neo!
