Well, we have installed BDB 3.1.14 on the linux box  (Mandrake 7.1)
and 3.1.17 on FreeBSD (4.1.1-stable)
from the ports. Then Installed DB_File perl module version 1.73 on linux and
then install the same DB_File (the same sources from CPAN) on FreeBSD.
Building DB_File on freebsd complained that library for -ldb not found, but
build anyway and installed. Rebuilt the db file from a text file on FreeBSD
and
got the same db file as it was for 1.85 (built in libc).
Well, then we rebuilt DB_File again, specifing in Makefile -ldb3 and
/L/usr/local/lib
manually. It built okay.
Rebuilt db file and got the same db file again as for 1.85, anyway, tried
reading
db2 file created on linux - guess what, no luck.

SO! HOW THE HECK DO I INSTALL ANS *USE*
Berkeley DB OTHER THAN 1.85 BUILT IN LIBC?

Artem
