[elephant-devel] Berkeley DB error: Invalid argument

[maxigas]

hi!

I tried to use the FAQ [1] with the latest SBCL, BDB and Elephant, but open-store fails on Berkeley databases.  I did recompile BerkeleyDB 4.7 after applying the patches advised but the magic line for setting the architecture failed:

This line from the FAQ:

CCFLAGS="-arch x86_64" LDFLAGS="-arch x86_64" ../dist/configure

Threw this error:

configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

I looked up "man cc" but the "-arch" option is only documented to work under Darwin.

uname -a returns: Linux chaar 2.6.31-9-rt #152-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT RT Thu Oct 15 13:22:24 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

So I am using Ubuntu Karmic Koala with amd64 architecture and a preemptive kernel.

My guess is that the compilation was OK and there is another problem.

Should I create something like a database before I try open-store or it is enough to have an open and writable directory?
