I thought this was only a 2.3 thing. I just tried on the release22_maint
CVS branch. The bsddb module compiled and linked fine, but I don't know
why. Oh, wait a minute... The release22_maint branch doesn't have the
bsddb bells and whistles I added to setup.py a couple months ago.
Consequently, it's picking up the 1.85 version of the include file and
library (which, I will remind people has known breakage).
Should I backport those changes? I think what's in 2.3's setup.py is much
more robust, but if people have been getting Berkeley DB 1.85 libraries in
2.2.1 and don't get a clean compile in 2.2.2 without editing setup.py
because 1.85 is all they have available, that might be construed as "more
than a bugfix".
Let me know what you want to do in this regard Guido.
