[Spambayes] Spambayes can't find bsddb

[Rick Gregory]

Sigh... I used tgo run SB in the a2/a3 days and it worked fine. Then I 
started using Thunderbird and found that it was catching most junk, so I 
used that instead. Recently my Thunderbird junk filter isn't catching 
enough spam, so I downloaded a9.

When I run sb_imapfilter on  my Powerbook (OS X 10.3.3, Python 2.3) I get:

    ImportError: No module named _bsddb
    Exception exceptions.AttributeError: "'MessageInfoDB' object has no
    attribute 'db'" in <bound method MessageInfoDB.__del__ of
    <spambayes.message.MessageInfoDB object at 0x4e7d30>> ignored


On my Linux server at home (that serves my personal email account)  I get:

    You do not have a dbm module available to use.  You need to either
    use a pickle (see the FAQ), use Python 2.3 (or above), or install a
    dbm module such as bsddb (see http://sf.net/projects/pybsddb).


Now, the sb FAQ asserts I should have all of this with Python 2.3, so I 
assume it's a pathing error. The problem is that I don't know that much 
about Python environment variables. What should I verify/set to ensure 
that bsddb is found?

INcidentally, I manually installed Berkely db 4.2 and pysbddb on my 
linux box, so I know it's there.

thanks,

rick
