I don't know much about autotools or Berkeley db (bdb) but they are
being used by a program I'm trying to compile and it's causing me
problems. The line which is the culprit is in a configure.ac file and it's:
AC_CHECK_LIB(db, db_create, ,AC_MSG_ERROR([Berkeley db library not found]))
This is what ends up causing the configure script to fail. The thing is,
I am pretty sure I have the newest bdb installed on my system. I am able
to compile the following bdb-dependent file, which I would think is a
sign that I have bdb installed:
#include <db.h>
int main() { db_create(0,0,0); }
So to test it out, I read an autotools tutorial and created a tiny
configure.ac file:
AC_INIT(dbtest.c)
AC_CHECK_LIB(db, db_create, ,AC_MSG_ERROR([Berkeley db library not found]))
This generates a configure file which fails with the following message:
checking for db_create in -ldb... no
configure: error: Berkeley db library not found
Anyone have any idea what's the matter? By the way, I'm running Ubuntu
Linux.
Thanks in advance,
Lowell
