[chord] install question

[Yanyan Wang]

Hi, Emil,

Thanks for your reply. Since I installed the DB in a local folder instead of in
the default directories(such as, /usr/local/). So I figured out that the
configure of Chord cannot detect the existence of the db. But I found that I
could specify the location of DB with the option "--with-db=.." in Chord
configuration. And the configuration does find the berkeley db. But when I do
the "gmake", it still gives me the same error message. Do you have any idea
what else may be the problem? My system is a Gentoo box. The gmake version is
3.8. Thanks a lot!

Yours,
Yanyan :)
