Problems configuring cfengine 2.1.17 on Solaris10

[Kurt Reimer]

Hello,
    Like previous posters I'm running into problems with the configure 
script not recognizing the BerkeleyDB version number, and it doesn't seem 
to have anything to do with LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_RUN_PATH:

*******************
bash-3.00# export \
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/:/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/lib/
bash-3.00# export \
LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/:/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/lib/
bash-3.00# export CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/include
bash-3.00# ./configure --with-berkeleydb=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/ \
--with-openssl=/usr/sfw
checking build system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.10
.   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .
checking for BerkeleyDB location in /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/... 
/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/
checking Berkeley DB Version... configure: error: This release of cfengine 
requires BerkeleyDB 3.2 or later
bash-3.00#

      (I added the backslashes where my email client wrapped the 
cut-and-pasted command lines.)
*******************

     I've gone so far as to comment out all but the "exit(0);" return in 
the test program that is being run at this point in the configure script,
with the same result:


*******************
#include <db.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
    /*
    printf("%d.%d.%d ",
           DB_VERSION_MAJOR,DB_VERSION_MINOR,DB_VERSION_PATCH);
    if (DB_VERSION_MAJOR < 3 ||
        (DB_VERSION_MAJOR == 3 && DB_VERSION_MINOR < 2))
        exit(1);
    */
    exit(0);
}
*******************

     I can get cfengine to configure, make, and install if I edit the 
configure script to dummy out the two places where it runs the test 
program listed above. Note that the configure, make, and make install all 
succeed without the help of LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LD_RUN_PATH, or any special
include directories defined in CFLAGS:

.....and so on....

*******************

     "make" and "make install" both succeed. I haven't yet begun to try to 
use cfengine, but I suspect the executables will work properly.

     It would be nice if the configuration process would work 
out-of-the-box. If I'm dong something wrong please let me know.

Yours,

Kurt Reimer
