That means if BERKLEY_DB_DIR is set to yes ... is it? no. Why not? Because you
supplied /usr/local as BERLEY_DB_DIR

So that stuff is not executed ....

Also look at the configure script a few lines above ...

# Check whether --with-berkeleydb or --without-berkeleydb was given.
if test "${with_berkeleydb+set}" = set; then
  withval="$with_berkeleydb"
  BERKELEY_DB_DIR=$with_berkeleydb
else
  BERKELEY_DB_DIR=yes
fi;

Read the manpage of your linker. You can specify the search path for your
dynamic linker ... or you can link that stuff static ...

OpenSSL is not frustrating. As long as you know where to get entropy from. ;-)

I had that problem while trying to link cfengine static.

don't know.

Try another version ftp://ftp.iu.hio.no/pub/cfengine/cfengine-2.0.5pre2.tar.gz

If you want you can give me a temporary user account on your site ... and I
could make you some scripts ready. At least for Solaris. Just drop me an eMail
and I send you my public ssh key.

And Could you provide some more informations and maybe output of what your are
doing?

What Compiler do you use? SUNWspro or gcc; Which Solaris Version?

I also have a binary version for solaris raeady and the build log ...
