Re: "DSO load failed" when using mod_authn_dbm for Berkeley DB

[Tianyin Xu <tixu@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Yann and Luca, 

Yes, that fixes the problem...!!..

$ ls lib/apr-util-1/

apr_dbm_db-1.so  apr_dbm_db.a  apr_dbm_db.la  apr_dbm_db.so

It's hard to believe --with-berkeley-db is even not present in "./configure --help"! 

@Luca, you are the maintainer of the httpd docs? The page of mod_authn_dbm really needs some more work.:-p

You may need to install the package libdb-dev (or libdb-devel) on your
system and then use --with-berkeley-db in the ./configure above.

Quick question: I didn't find the --with-berkeley-db option executing httpd's ./configure --help, but I found it only with the APR's one. How does the configure work when you use "--with-included-apr" ? Just to have an idea about how to fix the docs :)

Thanks!

Luca
