Thank you; FWIW, I was missing libdb4.2-devel. But reinstalling all
Berkeley-related files didn't help me. Without change:

: $ ./extconf.rb

[etc]

: $ ls /usr/lib/libdb*

:  /usr/lib/libdb_cxx.a
:  /usr/lib/libdb_cxx.dll.a
:  /usr/lib/libdb_cxx.la

So, again: what exactly is that extconf missing?




I found the following:

: $ tail -18 src/mkmf.log
:  "gcc -o conftest -I/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/crommc/Desktop/bdb-0.5.4/

:  gcc: and: No such file or directory
:  gcc: Settings/crommc/Desktop/bdb-0.5.4/src: No such file or directory
:  conftest.c: In function `t':
:  conftest.c:5: error: `db_version_4002' undeclared (first use in this function)
:  conftest.c:5: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
:  conftest.c:5: error: for each function it appears in.)
:  checked program was:

:  /*top*/
:  int main() { return 0; }
:  int t() { void ((*volatile p)()); p = (void ((*)()))db_version_4002; return 0; }
:  /* end */

That reminds me of the effect

: $ PATH
:  bash:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/d/ruby/bin:/cygdrive
:  /c/WINNT/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINNT:/cygdrive/c/WINNT/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/

Is extconf (or mkmf) disturbed by the spaces in $PATH?
