xemacs link problem

[Charles Wilson]

Do this:
  'ls /usr/lib/libdb*'
  'ls /usr/bin/libdb*'
  'ls /usr/local/lib/libdb*'
  'ls /usr/local/bin/libdb*'

Your 'cygwin version' 1.1.2 or 1.1.4 does not matter.  This is not a
cygwin problem.  It's a problem with the libdb package(s).  If the
xemacs configure finds the header files for libdb, it will include libdb
in the build process. If xemacs configure does not find the libdb header
files, it will not include libdb in the build process.

Obviously, in the past you did not have libdb installed at all (or only
had one version of libdb), so xemacs did not include libdb in the build
process (or, if it did, there was no conflict between different versions
of libdb because you only had one version installed).

Now, it appears that you have TWO versions of libdb installed, and they
are conflicting.  The solution, of course, is to remove one of them.

An alternate explanation is that you have recently installed Michael's
version (and have never had the cygutils version installed) but that
Michael's version is somehow broken.  It is, after all, an alpha
release.
