FreeBSD's ports of the Sleepcat DB releases use different naming conventions than currently catered for in setup.py. Additionally, the ports collection currently supports having both DB 4.1 and DB 4.0 installed concurrently. The current setup.py really only caters for 1 variation of any major DB version. The attached patch expands the support so that v4.1 has the correct include directory on FreeBSD, and allows for both 4.1 and 4.0 to be concurrently installed. It also adds support for DB3 (v3.3.11 in the Ports collection) on FreeBSD.
Logged In: YES user_id=250749 Martin, assigned to you as setup.py's history shows you had a fair bit to do with the bsddb3 module machinery in there (Skip and Barry have both also worked on this).
Logged In: YES user_id=250749 I've concluded that the first version of this patch is unnecessarily complicated. I've uploaded a simplified second version, which gets the essentials in place.
Logged In: YES user_id=21627 The patch is fine in principle. However, please make sure that it finds newer versions before it finds older ones, i.e. 4.1 before 4.0 (so resort the strings accordingly).
Logged In: YES user_id=250749 Revised version with resorted strings as requested. v2 worked fine for me, finding v4.1 before 4.0 (on FreeBSD), however there are enough variations in live installations that re-sorting the strings is prudent. If there are no objections to v3, I'll check it in later this week.
