The db-3.1.17 package contains version 3.1.17 of the Berkeley database. Evolution needs exactly this version and not any other, the details on "why" are in the README file distibuted with the evolution source code. Evolution links to the library statically, hence this book installs the db-3.1.17 in /opt, which can be removed once Evolution is compiled.
Install db-3.1.17 by running the following commands:
cd build_unix && ../dist/configure --prefix=/opt/db-3.1.17 --enable-compat185 && make && make install |
--enable-compat185 : Build support for older database files.
--prefix=/opt/db-3.1.17 : This version of the Berkeley Database should not be installed in /usr, as it is only needed for the building of Evolution.
