I'm new to berkeley db xml.
While trying to intall berkeleydb xml 2.2.8 on a linux box, using the
buildall.sh --enable-java script, i encountered several of following
errors and the build did not succeed (meaning the dbxml.jar file was
not created). Has anybody encountered such an issue and found a way
around it? I'll appreciate your help on this.
