[open-cobol-list] Problems installing OC on CentOS

[Chris Geldenhuis]

Hi,

I am new to OC and am trying to install on CentOS and have run into the 
following problem:

After installing the dependencies as per the installation instructions 
and using --prefix=/usr/local when configuring the Berekely database i 
get the following output from the configure stage (lots of stuff before 
this but no error messages seen)

  Use gettext for international messages:      yes
  Use Berkeley DB for file I/O:                yes
  Use enhanced Berkeley DB (>= 4.1)            no
  Use fcntl for file locking:                  yes
  Use ncurses/pdcurses/curses for screen I/O:  yes

This all seems to be OK to me although I am confused by the line about 
the DB not being >4.1 as I had versin 4.5 of the db installed at the time.

When I run make it eventually comes up with error messages starting with:

and at the end:

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/open-cobol-1.1'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can get this to work?

I have tried with various releases of the DB - 4.2.52, 4.5.20 and 5.2.36 
but have essentially the same problem with all of them.
