Thanks for the response. I am new to this stuff, so sorry if I'm
asking stupid questions. After doing the configure with the CPPFLAGS
and LDFLAGS, is there a way to tell which database is used? The newer
(3.1.17) or the older one (2.somthing)? Is is better to use the
original source or the installation directory for the FLAGS? Also, I
believe that for CPPFLAGS I put in the directory for the headers and
for LDFLAGS I use the directory for the libraries. Is this correct and
where can I find info on what the -I, -L, and -R mean? Thanks again.
