I see the same issue with a MacBook. The problem is that the config script for the Berkeley DB component doesn't recognize the platform. If you look through the output generated when you run ./configure, you will most likely see the following. --- configuring in db/dist running /bin/sh ./configure --cache-file=../.././config.cache --srcdir=. loading cache ../.././config.cache checking if building in the top-level directory... checking for a BSD compatible install... (cached) /usr/bin/install -c checking host system type... Invalid configuration `i386-apple-darwin8.8.1': system `darwin8.8.1' not recognized --- The result is that some inappropriate defaults are set in the config.h file included in many of the db files. I was able to work around the problem by doing the following. 1. Run the main 'configure' script as you normally would. 2. Open htdig-3.1.6/db/dist/config.h. 3. Remove (or comment out) the following five lines. #define mode_t int #define off_t long #define pid_t int #define size_t unsigned #define ssize_t int 4. Change /* #undef HAVE_DIRENT_H */ to #define HAVE_DIRENT_H 1 5. Run make. I don't actually use ht://Dig on this platform so I haven't done any real testing. But the build did complete successfully and the programs don't immediately crash when executed. Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
