When I have db3-devel installed I can not build gnome-libs-1.2.12 from
gnome 1.4 beta2. In the same time I have also db1-devel and db2-devel
installed. It's possible to have them all instaled since the use different
filenames. If I remove db3-devel I can compile it. I'll include all the
files that the three differnt devel packages installes. As you can see they
all have different names and should be possible to have installed at the
same time. Yet it seems like gnome-libs picks up on db3 in it's ./configure
and then does not work with db3. I'll also include the compile failure and
the configure output.

Does it matter which of db1 and db2 (db1.85) it picks up? I know next to
nothing about these Berkeley db's.

db1-devel:

/usr/include/db1
/usr/include/db1/db.h
/usr/include/db1/mpool.h
/usr/include/db1/ndbm.h
/usr/lib/libdb1.a
/usr/lib/libdb1.so

db2-devel:

/usr/bin/db2_archive
/usr/bin/db2_checkpoint
/usr/bin/db2_deadlock
/usr/bin/db2_dump
/usr/bin/db2_load
/usr/bin/db2_printlog
/usr/bin/db2_recover
/usr/bin/db2_stat
/usr/include/db2/db.h
/usr/include/db2/db_185.h
/usr/lib/libdb2.a
/usr/lib/libdb2.so
/usr/lib/libndbm.a
/usr/lib/libndbm.so

db3-devel:

/lib/libdb.so
/usr/include/db.h
/usr/include/db3/db.h
/usr/include/db3/db_185.h
/usr/include/db3/db_cxx.h
/usr/lib/libdb-3.1.a
/usr/lib/libdb-3.1.la
/usr/lib/libdb-3.1.so
/usr/lib/libdb_cxx-3.1.a
/usr/lib/libdb_cxx-3.1.la
/usr/lib/libdb_cxx.so

And here is the failing compilation:
