Hi,
I'm currently using Log4cxx on a Suse 10.3, but I started from the
sources (compiling apr, apr-utils and log4cxx).
I don't have so many dependencies that you have (maybe because I
compiled apr and apr-utils in static ?) :
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libexpat.so.1 => /lib/libexpat.so.1 (0xb7d04000)
libuuid.so.1 => /lib/libuuid.so.1 (0xb7cff000)
librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0xb7cf6000)
libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0xb7cc4000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7cac000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb7ca8000)
libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xb7bba000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xb7b95000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7a62000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7a56000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)
Anyway, i don't find back the lib Berkeley DB (libdb4.8) in the list.
In case it could help,
Jean
