    <para>The <application>Berkeley DB</application> package contains programs
    and utilities used by many other applications for database related
    functions. This package is also installed during LFS and may already exist
    on your system. It is listed here in BLFS as well because you may need to
    reinstall it if you need the additional language bindings or the RPC
    server. If you do reinstall <application>Berkeley DB</application>, ensure
    you use the &lfs-bdb-version; version used in the LFS book.</para>

    <title>Testing Berkeley DB</title>

    <para>You may want to skip ahead to <xref linkend="bdb-installation"/>. The
    test suite can take up to 150 SBUs and has a few bugs causing a report of
    <quote>Regression tests failed</quote>. However, running the test suite is
    a very exhaustive test of your hardware, perhaps pushing your machine
    harder (especially disk I/O) than it will ever see during production use.
    Note that you must have <application>Tcl</application> installed to run the
    test suite.</para>

    <para>Build for the <application>Berkeley DB</application> test by running
    the following commands:</para>

<screen><userinput>patch -Np0 -i ../patch.&db-version;.1 &amp;&amp;
patch -Np0 -i ../patch.&db-version;.2 &amp;&amp;
cd build_unix &amp;&amp;
../dist/configure --prefix=/usr \
                  --enable-test \
                  --enable-tcl  \
                  --with-tcl=/usr/lib &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>

    <para>To test the results, start <command>tclsh</command>:</para>

<screen><userinput>tclsh</userinput></screen>

    <para>From the <command>tclsh</command> prompt (<prompt>%&nbsp;</prompt>),
    run:</para>

<screen><userinput>source ../test/test.tcl
run_parallel 5 run_std
exit</userinput></screen>

    <title>Installation of Berkeley DB</title>

    <para>The installation commands below are identical to the commands used
    in the LFS book. If you installed <application>Berkeley DB</application>
    in LFS, and you don't add anything to the <command>configure</command>
    script, you'll end up with exactly what you already have. The additional
    parameters you can use are listed in the Command Explanations section
    below. Install <application>Berkeley DB</application> by running the
    following commands:</para>

<screen><userinput>patch -Np0 -i ../patch.&db-version;.1 &amp;&amp;
patch -Np0 -i ../patch.&db-version;.2 &amp;&amp;
cd build_unix &amp;&amp;
../dist/configure --prefix=/usr \
                  --enable-compat185 \

    <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 the DB-1.85 compatibility API.</para>

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

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

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

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

    <para><command>make docdir=/usr/share/doc/db-&db-version;
    install</command>: This installs the documentation in
    the correct location instead of
    <filename class='directory'>/usr/docs</filename>.</para>

    <para><command>chown -v root:root /usr/bin/berkeley_db_svc</command>:
    This command changes the ownership of the RPC server program. It is only
    required if you passed <parameter>--enable-rpc</parameter> to the
    <command>configure</command> script.</para>
