Re: installing Cfengine-2.1.0p1 on RH 9 - problems

[Chip Seraphine]

This one seems to come up a lot-- maybe we should smarten up the 
configure script? :-)

The problem is that some Linuces (SuSE, RH) insert a hyphen into the 
library name.    Take a look at your config.log and the actual tests in 
the configure script for details.

You can try this to work around the problem:  Find where your db files 
are located ("rpm -ql db" should do it) and you should see something 
some files with a name like "lidb-4"... .  Set a symlink to the library 
without the dash (i.e. "libdb4") and it should be ok.
