Hi All,

I tried to build the 2.4.2 kernel after applying patch ac28
(patch-2.4.2-ac28) and it failed :-((

When it failed it gave the following message :

*** Install db development libraries

I thought kernel build should be independent of any userland libraries.

Any thoughts ?

TIA

Yes, I am trying to compile aic7xxx support into the kernel.

Do you know from where can I get the berkeley db libraries ? Currently I do 
not want to upgrade my kernel. If you can suggest some changes to makefiles/
config files which will skip the steps to build the firmware, that would
also be great.

TIA

The kernel is, the tools are not
