I'm trying to work with a specific application and getting hung up with an error I don't understand. While I am waiting for the app author to get back to me, I'd like to further my own understanding by getting an idea of what's going on.

I'm trying to run Postgrey (http://isg.ee.ethz.ch/tools/postgrey/) on FreeBSD 4.10, with Posfix 2.1.1 and perl 5.6.1 and BerkeleyDB-0.25.

when I try to run Postgrey I get the following error:

Your vendor has not defined BerkeleyDB macro DB_AUTO_COMMIT, used at /usr/local/bin/postgrey line 178

Looking at the source to BerkeleyDB.pm, I can't say I understand what's going on. Seems like DB_AUTO_COMMIT is exported but never declared. Perhaps I'm demonstrating how little I understand about perl, but that's why I'm asking a question.

Can anyone explain what's wrong, or point me to a document that will enlighten me?
