Where did you install it?

What I did last time was download zip version, unzip, start msys and

cd db-4.7.25/build_unix
sh ../dist/configure
make
[download]

Then switch back to cmd.exe

cd ../perl/DB_File
perl -pi.orig -e "s!^(INCLUDE|LIB)\s.*!$1\t= ../../build_unix/!" confi
+g.in
perl Makefile.PL
dmake test
dmake install
[download]
