"build db46" fails

[borschel@…]

see below debug output. the makefile configuration appears to be faulty. It generates a nonsense include path option for gcc ("-I ../dist/.." instead of "-I ."), which is why the file db.h can't be found.

Replying to macsforever2000@…:

found reason for the problem in missing file "/usr/include/db.h". restoring "/usr/include/db.h" solved the problem.

Glad you got it working. Thanks for the update.

[blair (Blair Zajac)]

If you have anything in /usr/local, you should really do the following to ensure you have a good build:

sudo mv /usr/local /usr/local.save
sudo port -v -f uninstall db46
sudo port -v install db46
sudo mv /usr/local.save /usr/local
