Hey Danny, thanks for the feedback. To summarise - to get DB_File running on MacOS you need to expose the library in /opt/local/lib/db48 ? I know nothing about MacOS, so this will be useful for anyone else who needs to get DB_File running ona Mac. cheers Paul

macOS does not have a packaging system like yum/dnf etc. There's 2 such system (I think based on BSD pkgsrc) MacPorts HomeBrew I believe these systems build packages on your system rather than downloading pre-built binaries such as rpms. For each package there's a recipe to download & build a tarball, usually applying some patches. Both systems have recipes for thousands of packages. Show quoted text

well you need to expose a version of BerkeleyDB /opt/local/lib/db48 came from MacPorts; at least I did not explicitly install it. MacPorts has quite a few versions of BerkeleyDB I'm not sure where HomeBrew would install its' BerkeleyDB include/lib directories. Plus somebody could build their own BerkeleyDB in another location. This issue seems new with macOS 10.13 though I've never used 10.12.
