In regard to: Preparing to build rpm 4.4.4 on Solaris 2.9, Aleksandar...:
I'm in the process of preparing to build rpm-4.4.4 on "virgin" Solaris 2.9 machine (just OS installed, currently slowly compiling all dependencies needed by rpm). The README file could use updating (there's many more required packages to compile RPM then listed in README file). One question. The README file says both db and db3 are needed. Hmmm... Can I use latest db4 from sleepycat (configured with --enable-compat185)? Or just db3 (again, configured with --enable-compat185)? Or I really need to have both db and db3 installed in paralel?
Last time I looked at RPM 4.2.x, it included a copy of Berkeley DB, which it built and used (with db symbol renaming) whether you had BDB on your system or not. That's probably true of RPM 4.4.x too, but you should be able to tell by looking around in the untarred sources. I'm fairly certain this means that you don't need any external version of Berkeley DB. You may want to verify that the included bdb has all relevant patches applied to it, though.
