This FreeBSD port seems a little goofy, after installing it, I ended up with this in /usr/local/lib: -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 524855 May 2 12:08 libdb3.so lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 9 Sep 29 2000 libdb3.so.1 -> libdb3.so lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 9 May 2 12:08 libdb3.so.2 -> libdb3.so That linkage seems backwards compared to everything else in /usr/local/lib. Shouldn't the real .so file should be named libdb3.so.2, and libdb3.so should link to it? I had a cyrus-imap installation that was linked to the libdb3.so.1 (which came from a db 3.1.17 installation that seems to have had the same backwards linkage), but after installing this new port, libdb3.so.1 is now suddenly db 3.2.9 instead of 3.1.17, which seems to have freaked out Cyrus - which I ended up reinstalling quickly to get my e-mail flowing again (although the current Cyrus port is different than what I had before, and I still have some problems - very irritating) This seems like a good way to screw lots of things up..or is there some reason it has to be this way?
