PREREQUISITES
-------------
Before you can build BerkeleyDB you need to have the following
installed on your system:
* Perl 5.004_04 or greater.
* Berkeley DB Version 2.6.4 or greater

Linux Notes
-----------
Newer versions of Linux (e.g. RedHat 6, SuSe 6) ship with a C library
that has version 2.x of Berkeley DB linked into it. This makes it
difficult to build this module with anything other than the version of
Berkeley DB that shipped with your Linux release. If you do try to use
a different version of Berkeley DB you will most likely get the error
described in the "Incompatible versions of db.h and libdb" section of
this file.
