<title>Other Installation Possibilities</title>

|
<para>There are instructions to build this package in the BLFS book if you
|
|
need to build the RPC server or additional language bindings. The
|
|
additional language bindings will require additional packages to be
|
|
installed. See <ulink url="&blfs-book;server/databases.html#db"/>
|
|
for suggested installation instructions.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Also, GDBM <emphasis>could</emphasis> be used in place of Berkeley
|
|
DB to satisfy Man-DB. However, since Berkeley DB is considered a core part
|
|
of the LFS build, it will not be listed as a dependency for any package in
|
|
the BLFS book. Likewise, many hours go into testing LFS with Berkeley DB
|
|
installed, not with GDBM. If you fully understand the risks versus
|
|
benefits of using GDBM and wish to use it anyway, see the BLFS
|
|
instructions located at <ulink
|
|
url="&blfs-book;general/gdbm.html"/></para>
