Again: compiling Python 2.0 against Berkeley DB

[Carsten Gaebler]

Hi!

I have to correct my posting regarding Berkeley DB 3.0.55. I *thought* I
was trying to read a 3.0.55 file. In fact it's a version 1.85 file, and
im trying to read it with Python compiled against BerkeleyDB 3.0.55
(dbhash.open() fails with "Invalid argument"). I have compiled
BerkeleyDB 3.0.55 with 1.85 compatibility API but it doesn't like 1.85
files. Then I downloaded version 1.85 from sleepycat.com but that won't
compile on my machine (numerous 'parse error before "("' messages).

I'm stuck. How can I make my Python read those DB1.85 files?

Regards
Carsten.
