Paul,

I have the LIB variable set to the actual location of libdb-4.4.so in the config.in file in both locations that I've found it:
/BerkeleyDB-0.27/ (which is where i've been doing the make and install commands from)
and
/db-4.4.16.NC/perl/BerkeleyDB/ (which is where I installed the DB from).

rebooted.

Still no change in the symptoms (the errors generated when attempting "make test"). Then I added that location to the PATH variable and after rebooting verified that it was set correctly. Still no change in the symptoms, though.

Have you a box with Fedora Core on it that you tested it with? Like I said, I had no such trouble with SUSE 9.x However, SUSE is not an approved deployment platform here and I have to make most things work on Fedora Core 4 instead.

Strange.

Thanks for your time.
