Subject: error in Makefile
I am trying to install DB_File on a Redhat 7.2 distro, but this is not possible because the Makefile has an error. The error is due to the fact that the options for ld is not apropriate for this version of ld. ld: GNU ld version 2.11.90.0.8 (with BFD 2.11.90.0.8) Error message: LD_RUN_PATH="/usr/lib" gcc -shared -L/usr/local/lib version.o DB_File.o -o blib/arch/auto/DB_File/DB_File.so -ldb /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldb collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

The "-ldb" is a vital part of the link line. It's needed to include the Berkeley DB library. Looks suspiciously like you haven't got the Berkeley DB library installed on your system. Paul
