Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &db-md5sum; Download size: &db-size; Estimated disk space required: &db-buildsize; Estimated build time: &db-time; Berkeley DB Dependencies Optional , and sharutils (for the uudecode command) It is recommended you skip ahead to Installation. The test-suite takes more than 80 SBU and has a few bugs causing reports of 'Regression Tests Failed'. You must have Tcl to test Berkeley DB. Build for the Berkeley DB test by running the following commands: cd build_unix && ../dist/configure --prefix=/usr \ --enable-test --enable-tcl --with-tcl=/usr/lib && make LIBSO_LIBS="-lpthread" LIBXSO_LIBS="-lpthread" && chmod 644 ../test/sijointest.tcl && sed -i 's:puts "[s,S].*::' \ ../test/sijointest.tcl To test the results, start tclsh: tclsh From the tclsh prompt (%), run: source ../test/test.tcl run_parallel 4 run_std exit Clean up with the following command: make realclean && cd .. Install Berkeley DB by running the following commands: cd build_unix && ../dist/configure --prefix=/usr \ --enable-compat185 \ --enable-cxx && make LIBSO_LIBS="-lpthread" LIBXSO_LIBS="-lpthread" Now, as the root user: make docdir=/usr/share/doc/db-&db-version; install && chown root:root /usr/bin/db_* \ /usr/lib/libdb* /usr/include/db* && chown -R root:root /usr/share/doc/db-&db-version; cd build_unix && ../dist/configure --prefix=/usr...: This replaces the normal ./configure command, as Berkeley DB comes with various build directories for different platforms. --enable-compat185: This switch enables building DB 1.85 compatibility API. --enable-cxx: This switch enables building C++ API libraries. --enable-tcl --with-tcl=/usr/lib: Enables Tcl support in DB and creates the libdb_tcl libraries. --enable-java: Enables Java support in DB and creates the libdb_java libraries. --enable-rpc: Enables building the Berkeley DB RPC server. make LIBSO_LIBS="-lpthread" LIBXSO_LIBS="-lpthread": configure does not correctly handle NPTL. These variables force it to properly link against NPTL. make docdir=/usr/share/doc/db-&db-version; install: This installs the documentation in the correct place. sed -i 's:puts "[s,S].*::' ../test/sijointest.tcl: This prevents logging two notes that are not recognized by run_std. Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directory db_archive, db_checkpoint, db_deadlock, db_dump, db_load, db_printlog, db_recover, db_stat, db_upgrade, db_verify and berkeley_db_svc if enabled libdb.[so,a], libdb_cxx.[so,a], libdb_java.[so,a] and libdb_tcl.[so,a] /usr/share/doc/db-&db-version; Short Descriptions berkeley_db_svc is the Berkeley DB RPC server. berkeley_db_svc db_archive prints the pathnames of log files that are no longer in use. db_archive db_checkpoint is a daemon process used to monitor and checkpoint database logs. db_checkpoint db_deadlock is used to abort lock requests when deadlocks are detected. db_deadlock db_dump converts database files to a flat file format readable by db_load. db_dump db_load is used to create database files from flat files created with db_dump. db_load db_printlog converts database log files to human readable text. db_printlog db_recover is used to restore a database to a consistent state after a failure. db_recover db_stat displays database environment statistics. db_stat db_upgrade is used to upgrade database files to a newer version of Berkeley DB. db_upgrade db_verify is used to run consistency checks on database files. db_verify
