[cobalt-users] Installing libraries: libJudy.so and libdb-3.3.so

[Parker Morse <morse@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The meta-problem I'm working on is installing (for testing) Eric Raymond's 
"bogofilter" spam-filtering program. I got a binary RPM from 
<http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/bogofilter/>. I'm taking notes as I go along, 
and once I've managed to get it up and running I'll put those on the web 
and post the URL here so y'all can tell me how I could have done it better.
 :-)

I'm working on a Qube3 which is patched up to (but not including) the 
Email File Size fix.

I have two problems with dependencies from the RPM. Here's my check:

[root morse]# rpm -i --test bogofilter-0.7-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        libdb-3.3.so   is needed by bogofilter-0.7-1
        libJudy.so   is needed by bogofilter-0.7-1

Here are my problems:

(1) I have installed Judy (with some interesting, but not crippling, 
problems) and it's there:

/usr/include/Judy.h (linked to /opt/Judy/usr/include/Judy.h)
/usr/lib/libJudy.a (linked to /opt/Judy/usr/lib/libJudy.a)
/usr/lib/libJudy.so (linked to /opt/Judy/usr/lib/libJudy.so)

But the rpm still fails that dependency. How can I find out where it's 
looking for libJudy.so, so I can put a link there?

(2) I have found an RPM including libdb-3.3.so, but that one has problems 
as well:

[root morse]# rpm -i --test db3-3.3.11-6.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2)   is needed by db3-3.3.11-6

Am I correct in understanding that this RPM is looking for glibc 2.2, 
while it appears that my Qube has 2.1.3 at best? Should I try to update to 
meet this dependency, or should I try to find another way to get libdb-3.3.
so? (Any suggestions?)

(3) Am I doing this the hard way? Should I be working from the source 
tarball instead of the RPM?

Thanks,
