[chord] Problem with Chord Compilation

[Mark R Thomas]

Hi,

I was trying to build Chord on a FreeBSD 4.7 machine and got the 
following error:

-------------------
g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../chord-src/svc -I.. -I../svc 
-I../../chord-src/lsd -I../../chord-src/svc -I../../chord-src/sfsrodb 
-I../../chord-src/dhash -I../../chord-src/dhc -I../../chord-src/chord 
-I../../chord-src/merkle -I../../chord-src/utils -I/usr/local/sfs/

------------

This is very similar to a problem mentioned in this posting:
https://amsterdam.lcs.mit.edu/pipermail/chord/2003-November/000161.html

I tried both the 2005-04-09 and 2004-10-07 snapshot of the Chord source, 
both with the same results.

It's worth noting that the ./setup step did not work in either of the 
Chord source packages I tried, however configure did.

The correct db.h seems to be in the include tree for this compilation.

Here are the details of relevant programs:
g++ 2.95.4
db.h        8.7 (Berkeley) 6/16/94
gcc 2.95.4
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59
automake (GNU automake) 1.4
Berkeley DB: db-4.0.14
SFS a recent (within two weeks) snapshot

Any ideas?

Thanks for taking a look at this!
Mark
