Quoting Gustavo Vieira G C Rios (grios@netshell.vicosa.com.br): > Hi, i wanted to increase my system security, so i decided to install > cucipop for pop3d connection.

No. *We* would have been using the ports system. > Reading the README file, it tells i need Berkeley DB 2 Database Lib! > Where can i get it? The port's Makefile doesn't list any dependencies. So my guess would be it comes with the basic FreeBSD system. In fact it is probably the dbm database package that is used for the password database. > I don't wanna go throw ports (i hate any automatic proccess to install > software, so i love things like: ./configure, vi config.h , make , make > check, .......,make install). Yeah, I won't throw them (away that is), too. I try to go through the ports system if possible. Now, if you don't trust them to do the work automatically, at least take a look at the contents of it to find out what had to be changed to the original source package to build it under FreeBSD. Browsing through patches/patch-aa I find a lot of adaptions to the Makefile. Apparently lots of things the original configure script didn't understand about FreeBSD. You seem to suffer from a strong instance of NIH-symdrome... My advice would be to cure it by doing a cvsup/make world cycle. Greetings, Ripley -- H.
