I would think you only need to replace any packages that say .WBx or whitebox with items from the centos hive ... all the others should be the same between distros. I wonder if rebuilding db4 from source on a machine where BerkeleyDB is installed would have any impact (maybe db4 does something differently in .configure if it is installed) ... OR maybe install BerkeleyDB from CPAN. --------------------- Actually, I rebuilt from source and installed from Dags repo the package perl-BerkeleyDB-0.26-1.dag.src.rpm and I get this on CentOS-3.3: command -> perl -e 'use BerkeleyDB; my $db = BerkeleyDB::Env->new() or die "blah";' result -> blah at -e line 1. so it doesn't work for me either on CentOS 3.3 ------------------- I am currently rebuilding the db4 srpm...I'll post my results. -- Johnny Hughes <http://www.HughesJR.com/>
