[elephant-devel] Elephant not installing via SBCL

[Ian Eslick]

Hi Patrick,

Welcome to elephant-devel.  It's late so I'll be quick.  Elephant  
does not require threads to work.  What you are seeing is build  
errors in the C compilation step for src/memutil/libmemutil.c due to  
incompatible header files.  The 0.6.0 release only works against  
Berkeley DB 4.3, not 4.5 (api changes and constant changes).  This  
should be documented in the INSTALL file.

The current HEAD, which is about to enter an alpha state for the next  
(0.6.1) release, will depend on 4.5.

Good luck and let us know if you have any other problems!

Ian
