emerge says: [snip] checking for a BSD compatible install... /bin/install -c checking for install -d: /bin/install -c checking for library containing db_create... no checking for library containing db_open... no You need Berkeley DB2 or DB3 to compile libtabe. Please use --with-db-lib to configure. even though the ebuild correctly sets with-db-inc, with-db-lib, and with-db-bin. This does not seem to be a problem with the ebuild, as the same problem occurs if we run ./configure from the tarball manually. Removing excess ./configure options (ie, everything but the with-db-* options) doesn't help. DB3 is definitely installed (libtabe DEPENDs on it, and it was emerge'd directly before libtabe). For what it's worth, my system seems to have several versions of DB installed (db-1.85-r1, db-3.2.8-910, db-4.0.14-r2, and db-4.1.25_p1-r2), but from what I understand, they are designed to not interfere with each other. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge libtabe Actual Results: The configure portion fails with the message described above.

The two versions of db3 I have checked sys-libs/db-3.2.9-r7 and sys-libs/db-3.2.9-r10 install libdb3 as libdb-3.so . The libtabe configure script only checks for -ldb and -ldb3. To fix this add this line as the first thing in src_compile(): sed -i -e "s:db3:db3 db-3:" configure
