<title>Installation of <application>Berkeley DB</application></title>

<para>Install <application>Berkeley DB</application> by running the following 
commands:</para>

<screen><userinput><command>cd build_unix &amp;&amp;
../dist/configure --prefix=/usr \
    --enable-compat185 \
    --enable-cxx &amp;&amp;
make LIBSO_LIBS="-lpthread" LIBXSO_LIBS="-lpthread"</command></userinput></screen>

<para>Now, as the root user:</para>

<screen><userinput role='root'><command>make docdir=/usr/share/doc/db-&db-version; install &amp;&amp;
chown root:root /usr/bin/db_* \
/usr/lib/libdb* /usr/include/db* &amp;&amp;
chown -R root:root /usr/share/doc/db-&db-version;</command></userinput></screen>

<sect2>
<title>Command explanations</title>

<para><command>cd build_unix &amp;&amp; 
../dist/configure --prefix=/usr...</command>: 
This replaces the normal <command>./configure</command> command, as
<application>Berkeley DB</application> comes with various 
build directories for different platforms.</para>

<para><parameter>--enable-compat185</parameter>: This switch enables
building DB 1.85 compatibility <acronym>API</acronym>.</para>

<para><parameter>--enable-cxx</parameter>: This switch enables building
C++ <acronym>API</acronym> libraries.</para>

<para><command>make LIBSO_LIBS="-lpthread"
LIBXSO_LIBS="-lpthread"</command>:  <command>configure</command> does not 
correctly handle <acronym>NPTL</acronym>. These variables force it to 
properly link against <acronym>NPTL</acronym>.</para> 

<para><command>make docdir=/usr/share/doc/db-&db-version; 
install</command>: This installs the documentation in
the correct place.</para>

<para><option>--enable-tcl --with-tcl=/usr/lib</option>:
Enables <application>Tcl</application> support in DB and creates the
<filename class="libraryfile">libdb_tcl</filename> libraries.</para>

<para><option>--enable-java</option>: Enables <application>Java</application>
support in DB and creates the 
<filename class='libraryfile'>libdb_java</filename> libraries.</para>

<para><option>--enable-rpc</option>: Enables building the 
<application>Berkeley DB</application> <acronym>RPC</acronym> server.</para>
