My latest package viewmol has a -ldb entry in the makefile. I asked on this list where on earth I'd find libdb.so to compile against, and you helpfully pointed me to libdb2-dev. However, since then, libdb3[-dev] has come out, so I figured I would dutifully compile against it. But to my

viewmol, a molecular modelling program I'm packaging, makes use of a number of supplementary binary files and scripts to read atomic coordinates from a range of different file formats. By default these utilities are kept in a viewmol-specific directory (/usr/local/lib/viewmol, which I'll change
