Berkeley DB failing to build

[guy.kogus@…]

I have db47 installed, but it seems that a lot of ports depend on db46. Every time I try to install it I get the below error message. I have tried cleaning all, but it keeps coming back with the same error.

Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_databases_db46/work/db-4.6.21/build_unix" && make all " returned error 2

What version of Mac OS X are you running? What version of Xcode?

[blair (Blair Zajac)]

This seems to occur if you have a Berkeley DB in /usr/local somewhere.

Try moving /usr/local away and then building it.

Inability to ignore /usr/local is a limitation in GCC with no apparent workaround.
