[elephant-devel] Problems create sleepycat.fasl

[Malini Bhandaru]

Hello Ian and Others,

I removed the /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4 and installed 4.3.
Untarred freshly elephant0.6.0, added symbolic links for .asd files in .sbcl/systems but my woes continue.

straight from the elephant tutorial I am trying:

     (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :elephant) 
     (use-package "ELE")
     (setf *testbdb-spec*
     '(:BDB "/home/ray/elephant/tests/testdb/"))

--- fine till here ---
     (open-store *testbdb-spec*)

my lisp seems to hang after
; compiling (DEFVAR *ERRNO-BUFFER* ...)
; compiling (DEFMACRO WRAP-ERRNO ...)
; compiling (DEFMACRO FLAGS ...)

at which point 40948 2006-10-03 23:00 sleepycat.fasl

and the other fasls are not constructed.

Do I have to set anything with LD-LIBRARY-PATH .. or any other environment thing?
or could i have a ghost of BerkeleyDB4.4 (is that possible after a rm -rf of the /usr/local/B.. directory 
.. not by my reading of the install actions).

Thank you once again.

elephant-0.6.0 relies on Berkeley DB 4.3 and will not work with version 4.4.

You can try using the CVS version which is 4.4 compatible, but there are
likely to be some problems in CVS as checkins to it are not as
rigorously tested.  I'd recommend you install 4.3 and try again.

Let us know if you have more questions!
