Bug 94851 – configure fails with bogofilter-0.94.13

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tassilo Horn 2005-06-02 11:24:45 UTC]

Hi,

I cannot update to bogofilter 0.94.13 because the configure fails with the output:

checking for strlcat... no
checking for strerror... yes
checking for strtoul... yes
checking for ld used by GCC... /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld
checking if the linker (/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld) is GNU ld... yes
checking for shared library run path origin... done
checking how to link with libdb... -ldb
checking db and dependent libraries... error
configure: error:
====================================================================
Cannot link against libdb? Try 'rm config.cache', then re-configure.
If the problem persists, report it to the bogofilter mailing list.
Remember to include your config.log.
====================================================================


!!! Please attach the config.log to your bug report:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/bogofilter-0.94.13/work/bogofilter-0.94.13/config.log

!!! ERROR: mail-filter/bogofilter-0.94.13 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 485, Exitcode 0
!!! econf failed
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

I'll attach the config.log to this bug report.

And another thing which seems odd to me is that glibc blocks bogofilter, if you have USE="-iconv".

Regards,
Tassilo

Ugh, after a recompile of db bogofilter compiles flawlessly.    
   
Sorry for the unnecessary bug report.  
  
But one question remains: Why do glibc and libiconv block bogofilter when you  
have USE="-iconv"?

There is something wrong with your sys-libs/db installation:
| conftest.c:86:16: db.h: No such file or directory

Which version is it?
/usr/include/db.h should be a symlink to your installed db version.
(e.g /usr/include/db.h -> db4.2/db.h)
