Install Berkeley DB by running the following commands:
cd build_unix &&
../dist/configure --prefix=/usr \
--enable-compat185 \
--enable-cxx &&
make &&
make docdir=/usr/share/doc/db-4.1.25 install |
Note: If you wish to enable Java support in Berkeley DB-4.1.25, add --enable-java to the configure options. Java support is needed if you plan to use system installed Berkeley DB when compiling OpenOffice.
cd build_unix && ../dist/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-compat185: This replaces the normal ./configure command as Berkeley DB comes with the various build directories for different platforms.
make docdir=/usr/share/doc/db-4.1.25 install: This installs the documentation in the correct place.
If you recompile Perl after installing Berkeley DB-4.1.25 you will need to apply the perl-5.8.0-db-4.1.patch patch available at http://downloads.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs-patches.
The Berkeley DB package contains db_archive, db_checkpoint, db_deadlock, db_dump, db_load, db_printlog, db_recover, db_stat, db_upgrade and db_verify.
