yes, i seems that berkdb should be renamed to gdbm.

where does toggle-where-was-i come from? i don't have it.

[Comment 2 Dan Girellini 2005-09-03 14:47:37 UTC]

It's part of app-xemacs/edit-utils.

[Comment 3 Geoff Leach 2006-06-08 02:14:29 UTC]

Setting berkdb does indeed enable gdbm.

Updated ebuild for 21.4.19 in bug 97786 has both a gdbm and a berkdb flag. 

I tried toggle-where-was-i for the first time :)

Created attachment 100194 [details, diff]
Patch to fix gdbm / berkdb confusion.


I've created a patch (which I have attached to this bug report) which does two things: first, it cleans up the current berkdb/gdbm confusion, so that if berkdb is specified, then that is what is used, and if gdbm is specified, then that is what is used;  second, this patch causes xemacs to use db-4 rather than db-1.

[Comment 5 Hans de Graaff 2006-12-10 03:43:26 UTC]

This is now fixed in xemacs 21.4.19-r2, using a combination of my own and Adam's patches.
