Re: Having problems installing using db-2.3.16

["Alan Sparks" <asparks@nss.harris.com>]

I had this same behavior a few days ago.  Don't know why /usr/local/libs
isn't being searched....

I quickly worked around the problem by adding a symlink to the library to my
GNU library directory.  In my case, I installed GCC under /opt/gnu/, so I
added a link in my /opt/gnu/lib dir to the real lib.  In a pinch, I suppose
you could temporarily link to the lib from your /usr/lib dir...

Not pretty, but worked.  Someday I'll return to figure out why I had to. :-)
