Berkeley DB does not use gets(). Not commenting on the gets() warning, but the link line above links db_dump185 against libc_r _and_ libc which is most certainly not what is intended. If the application is threaded, pass `-pthread' to gcc and it will link against libc_r /instead/ of libc. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
