in thread need help with DB_File

Hmm, I have no expeiernce with slackware, but it really does sound like incompatible libraries, or two different version copies on your system...

    yeah, slackware has multiple versions of db
    from a `locate libdb|egrep so` 
    /lib/libdb-3.1.so
/lib/libdb.so
/lib/libdb.so.2
/lib/libdb.so.3
/lib/libdb1.so.2
/lib/libdb1.so.2.1.3
/lib/libdb2.so.3
/usr/i386-slackware-linux-gnulibc1/lib/libdb.so.1
/usr/i386-slackware-linux-gnulibc1/lib/libdb.so.1.85.4
/usr/lib/libdb1.so
/usr/lib/libdb2.so

      hmm, not sure if that is good or not... but what about the .h files, the problem comes from the combination of the two, so you need to look for those as well.

        sorry about the repost; had inet connection problems
        anyway, there's 
        /usr/include/db.h
/usr/include/db1/db.h
/usr/include/db2/db.h
/usr/include/db3/db.h

        funky, IMHO

    yeah, slackware has multiple versions on there... apparently they're supposed to peacefully co-exist (:

      hmm, sounds like you are looking at libdb.so.3 and /db2/db.h
      dunno how to fix that, though...

        hmm, i think i got it.
        i'll just either build the latest DB, and put it somewhere safe, for File_DB to use... or point it at /usr/include/db1 and hope i can fool it into using the 1.85 libs (:

        thanks!
