[elephant-devel] BDB stores don't work on my 32-bit Debian box either

Thanks for the clarification.

If he isn't able to do it, then who is?

Does such a person exist?

I have a third machine (an x86 32-bit Debian VPS) and I've finally got
elephant-1.0 to work with a patched bdb 4.7 and SBCL 1.0.30.

I've been using git SBCL (1.0.32.14) until now so I'm beginning to suspect SBCL
(as Henrik also suggested).

My next move will be to go back to the latest SBCL release tarball and take it
from there.

It seems this is no longer necessary now that Ian's on the case.  I still
intend to provide some patches for doc/Makefile and doc/elephant.texinfo.

Many thanks for all your help.
