gnome-libs and db4

[Terry Chan]

gnome-libs does NOT work with db4 instead of db.

>From #lunar chat with Moe:

17:02 <tchan> doesn't work in testing gnome-libs
17:03 <tchan> just editing gnome-libs/DEPENDS to use db4 does absolutely nothing
17:03 <tchan> because gnome-libs still finds my installed db (which is really db3)
17:03 <Moe> You still need to regenerate the depends cache
17:03 <tchan> and doesn't link to db4
17:03 <Moe> And I told you earlier .. you need to remove db
17:05 <tchan> so you want:  lrm db, edit moonbase/*/DEPENDS to use db4 instead of db, regenerate /var/state/lunar/depends* then 
              start recompiling apps ?
17:05 <Moe> Sounds like it .. yeah
17:12 <tchan> as I thought, gnome-libs does NOT work with db4 in the manner you suggested above
17:12 <tchan> I've removed db with "lrm db" and edited gnome-libs/DEPENDS to use db4 and recreated /var/state/lunar/depends*
17:13 <tchan> checking for dbopen... no
17:13 <tchan> checking for dbopen in -ldb... no
17:13 <tchan> checking for dbopen in -ldb1... no
17:13 <tchan> checking for __db185_open in -ldb-3... no
17:13 <tchan> checking for __db185_open in -ldb-4... yes
17:13 <tchan> checking for db.h... no
17:13 <tchan> checking for db_185.h... no
17:13 <tchan> checking for db1/db.h... no
17:13 <tchan> configure: error: Berkeley db library required for Gnome
17:13 <tchan> Creating /var/log/lunar/compile/gnome-libs-1.4.1.7.bz2

Attached is my failed compiled log for gnome-libs.  This lunar box has had a "lrm db" performed on it and I've editted
gnome-libs/DEPENDS to use db4 instead of db and recreated /var/state/lunar/depends* (this uses db4 now).

BTW, I am testing xemacs (version bump to 21.4.16) and it already supports db4 from the xemacs web page.
