Does anybody have advice on how this should be dealt with when somebody has installed libdb 2.7.5 or any other version > 1.85? I see unsatisficing incompatibilities. At least the RPM version of pdbtool dumps core with my libdb 2.7.5 and so I cannot talk to codasrv at all. FWIW, not only the author of libdb, Keith Bostic warns against 1.85 because it has virtually unfixable bugs. I think, Eric Allman has encountered some of them and for sure Ulrich Pfeifer. So I have decided to abandon it and overwrite it with the incompatible libdb 2.x.x. I recompiled sendmail and thought that would do. I'll try to compile the whole coda from scratch and see how far I get, but I thought, I should raise the question now to get some advice before I fiddle too much. -- andreasReceived on 1999-06-14 07:28:54
