[Comment 1 Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) 2004-11-06 08:10:38 UTC]

the dbsearchengine plugin in kbabel uses /usr/include/db.h and
/usr/lib/libdb.so to compile, which are symlinks, could you check that?
maybe there's a mismatch.

Here I have:
# ls -l /usr/include/db.h /usr/lib/libdb.so
 ... /usr/include/db.h -> db4.1/db.h
 ... /usr/lib/libdb.so -> libdb-4.1.so

in /usr/include/db4.1/db.h there's:
 #define db_create db_create_4001

and the corresponding symbol is in /usr/lib/libdb-4.1.so:
# readelf -s /usr/lib/libdb-4.1.so | grep db_create
   481: 0001acbd    89 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   10 xdr___db_create_reply_400
   483: 0004bb18   322 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   10 db_create_4001
   717: 00018e7b   144 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   10 __db_db_create_4001
   998: 000273a8   231 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   10 __bam_db_create_4001
  1145: 000716c0   134 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   10 __ham_db_create_4001
  1175: 000959b8   104 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   10 __qam_db_create_4001
  1273: 0001ac64    89 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   10 xdr___db_create_msg_4001

[Comment 2 Gian-Carlo Pascutto 2004-11-07 11:56:05 UTC]

gentoo64 giancarlo # ls -l /usr/include/db.h /usr/lib/libdb.so
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root  8 Sep 27 19:30 /usr/include/db.h -> db4/db.h
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 12 Sep 27 19:30 /usr/lib/libdb.so -> libdb-4.1.so

A look in db4/db.h shows db_create_4000 and not db_create_40001

A bug in the db package?

[Comment 3 Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) 2004-11-07 12:30:14 UTC]

yes, it seems something went wrong in the installation of db,
the symlink should point to db4.1/db.h.
I suggest reemerging db-4.1.

[Comment 4 Gian-Carlo Pascutto 2004-11-07 13:08:53 UTC]

Problem solved by reemerging db. Thanks.
