Issue 1033390: build doesn't pick up bsddb w/Mandrake 9.2 (original) (raw)

Mandrake 9.2 installs bsddb 4.1 under /usr/lib, and apparently Python 2.4a3's setup.py doesn't pick it up -- adding /usr/lib to the list of directories where bsddb 4 is being searched for, and rerunning make, seems to fix the problem. (Problem does not appear on Mandrake 9.1, where I had installed sleepycat's stuff under /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.1 "by hand"; nor on MacOSX, where I had a fink-installed one in /sw/lib; no similar problem with any other module on any of these platforms, except bsddb).
