The various bits necessary to implement the "build bsddb185 when appropriate" have been checked in. I'm pretty sure I don't have the best possible test for the existence of a db library, but it will have to do for now. I suspect others can clean it up later during the beta cycle. The current detection code in setup.py should work for Nick on OSF/1 and for platforms which don't require a separate db library.
I'd appreciate some extra pounding on this code.
On SGI Irix 6.5 (MIPSpro Compilers: Version 7.2.1) it tries to build it, and fails. It complains about "u_int" and such not being defined. There's magic at the top of /usr/include/db.h for defining various types optionally, and that's as far as my understanding went. -- Jack Jansen, <Jack.Jansen@cwi.nl>, http://www.cwi.nl/~jack If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your revolution -- Emma Goldman
