BUG: exim not linking with darwinports Berkeley DB

[jbc@…]

exim-4.3.4

the error log can be found here: INLINE

Description: I've tried to solve this myself, even posting the problem on the exim-users group, but can't figure it out. If the current Berkeley DB is installed via darwinports, exim still links against the default OS X 1.8x version (Berkeley DB is a *requirement* to install exim). Something in the exim portfile needs to change so that exim can find the db4 includes and libraries installed by dp. Otherwise exim cannot open files created by other apps using Berkeley DB.

Comments: Tried various things, but end up with errors about ld not having access to the db4 library path for darwinports. Not much of an ld expert, I'm afraid.

adding this line to the configure section of the portfile makes it work for me:

reinplace "s|DBMLIB =|DBMLIB =/usr/local/lib/libdb.dylib|g" OS/Makefile-Darwin

Erm... since when does OS X ship with BDB?
