Since it is unlikely that we'll get further analysis on the
cause of this problem, I'm closing the report now. Please
try one of the 2.2 prereleases; if problems remain, please
report them in a new bug report.

Okay, unassigning. Why I had it ? unsure. It probably
dates back from the time I still had a RedHat box. I
swapped them all with Debian and I live a much happier
life as a result :-)

Can someone see if this is still a problem with current CVS
(or even with 2.2a2)? I believe we've added another layer of
patchwork around the bsddb compilation in setup.py.
Why does Thomas own this item? Thomas, if you don't want
it, feel free to unassign it.

I have no trouble building the current CVS version on RedHat
7.1. However, when I try the gcc command given in the error
message, I get much the same errors.
The deciding difference was: setup.py (part of the standard
current build process) adds -DHAVE_DB_185_H=1 to the
compiler command line.

Sorry, no. These RPMs seem to be installed by default on RedHat 7.1:
# rpm -qa | grep devel | grep db
db1-devel-1.85-5
db2-devel-2.4.14-5
gdbm-devel-1.8.0-5
db3-devel-3.1.17-7
It would be nice if a Python developer could gain access to a RedHat 7.1
machine to sort this problem out :-)

I suspect the problem here is that you don't have the
appropriate -devel RPM installed. I think you need
'db3-devel', but 'db2-devel', 'db1-devel' or 'db-devel'
might work too.
Can you confirm that you have none of those installed ? I
think what happens is that distutils can't find an include
header to include, so it assumes the DB implementation is
included in libc, instead. (Changing catagory to distutils
on that assumption.)

Sorry about the confusion. My report is for RedHat 7.1:
1. Untar the distribution 2.0.1c1
2. ./configure
3. make
The errors reported occur. I have changed nothing.
I don't know what bsddb is, nor why it's getting compiled.
Hopefully, someone knowing Python 2.0.1 and having
access to a RedHat 7.1 box could look into the problem.
At this point Python building seems broken on RH7.1 :-(

I have asked you to report things, not to change things. It
is not easy to repeat for me, as I don't have Redhat 7.1.

Sorry, I didn't change ANYTHING ! I was trying a vanilla
build on RedHat 7.1 ! Should be easy to repeat...
Maybe the build scripts make some incorrect choices
on RedHat 7.1 ?

Please report the following things:
- the line in Setup that you activated to enable
compilation of bsddb
- the exact version of the bsddb RPM package that provides
db.h
- whether or not this packages includes a file db_185.h
