RE: configure fails on Solaris 2.8

Well, in the configure stage, autoconf actually compiles and runs hundreds
(anyone actually know the number, it must be huge) of little
scripts/programs and the exe's that result, in order to test all kinds of
system functionality. And in your case, the system can build the little
piece of code trying to workout your BDB version (because it can find the
headers etc), but, alas, it cannot find the BDB shared lib it needs in order
to run the exe it has built.

And configure then burst into a logical inferno.

If you look in the config.log, I think you'll find your answer.

Perhaps the fail message should indicate this - but then again, any failure
in configure means a game of hunt the wumpus in config.log

Hi Leif.

Should this me mentioned somewhere in INSTALL file or I missed it.
I don't think that it should be required for LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be set
for build. It may be nessesary for running, but not compilation.
