Hadn't thought of that, but with your suggestions, just tried it, and am
getting the same results after makign sure that convert-ip-db to use
DB3_File ... but I'm guessing that might have to do with header files, as
when i make it load the proper includes, the DB_File won't even build, as
its missing defines ...
but, it turns out there is a BerkeleyDB perl interface ... what is the
chances of moving fastresolve over to that?
NAME
BerkeleyDB - Perl extension for Berkeley DB version 2 or 3
I just tried a simple search and replace in convert-ip-db, and it results
in:
thelab# convert-ip-db
Can't locate auto/BerkeleyDB/TIEHASH.al in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/libdata/perl/5.6.0/mach /usr/libdata/perl/5.6.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/mach /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 .) at /usr/local/bin/convert-ip-db line 48
so it obviously doesn't work "out of the box" ...
