> Perhaps it's not even trying to link in the gdbm library? I've done some more digging and found the command it's using to compile and that is indeed the case:
$ gcc -o exim_dbmbuild exim_dbmbuild.o -lnsl -lcrypt -lm -ldb exim_dbmbuild.o(.text+0x458): In function `main': : undefined reference to `gdbm_open' exim_dbmbuild.o(.text+0x62f): In function `main': : undefined reference to `gdbm_store' exim_dbmbuild.o(.text+0x6bc): In function `main': : undefined reference to `gdbm_store' exim_dbmbuild.o(.text+0x94c): In function `main': : undefined reference to `gdbm_store' exim_dbmbuild.o(.text+0x9e0): In function `main': : undefined reference to `gdbm_store' exim_dbmbuild.o(.text+0xa63): In function `main': : undefined reference to `gdbm_close' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status If I change it from the "db" library to "gdbm" then it works: $ gcc -o exim_dbmbuild exim_dbmbuild.o -lnsl -lcrypt -lm -lgdbm $ ./exim_dbmbuild /etc/aliases test.db 18 entries written So it looks like the Makefile isn't pulling in the correct library when USE_GDBM=yes. I edited the generated Makefile by hand and changed the library: DBMLIB = -lgdbm And this appears to have worked fine - I recompiled Exim and installed it and I don't get any of those failed/success errors any more! Now I can go back to investigating the original problem :-) Cheers, Adam. -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
