Problem Using Sendmail 8.13.3 with BerkeleyDB.4.3

Berkeley DB's standard installation location isn't automatically
searched by the dynamic library loader.

Try adding

/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/lib

to /etc/ld.so.cache, or installing Berkeley DB a directory that is
searched by the loader. See the "ld.so" manual page for more
information.

Regards,
Michael.

Hello,

I am using RedHat release 9 of Linux on a Dell Dimension 2400 box.
I want to install Sendmail 8.13.3 for use as a mail server

First, I downloaded and installed BerkeleyDB.4.3
Then I built and installed Sendmail.

But, when I run the 'newaliases' command or try to run the Sendmail
executable, I get the error message :

"error while loading shared libraries : libdb-4.3.so
cannot open shared object file.
No such file or directory.

I have checked the directory /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3/lib
and there IS a libdb.4.3.so executable there.

Could I please get some pointers from the list ?

Thanks

Dave Harman
