[chord] install question

[Yanyan Wang]

To whom it may concern,

I am new to Chord. And I have some problems in installing it. I have
downloaded sfs and compiled it without trouble. Then I downloaded Chord and
did the following:

% cd src/sfsnet
% ./setup
...
% mkdir /scratch/chord-build
% cd /scratch/chord-build
% /scratch/chord-0.1/src/sfsnet/configure --prefix=$PWD --with-
sfs=/scratch/sfs-build/
...
% gmake

All the above steps succeeds except the gmake gives me the following error
message:

--------------
...
dbdump.o(.text+0xa4): In function `main':
../../chord-0.1/devel/dbdump.C:54: undefined reference to `db_create_4001'
dbdump.o(.text+0x850): In function `main':

make: *** [all] Error 2
----------------

It seems that it's an error related to database. And I noticed that in
your "Chord HOWTO" doc, you says that "Berkeley DB is needed for sfs build". I
built sfs successfully without it. But I guess I still need to install it. But
how could I specify the database in chord configuration? I cannot find the doc
for it. Could you please give me some information or links to the doc? Thanks
a lot!

Yours,
Yanyan :)
