[Pvfs2-users] installation pvfs2-ping ok, but pvfs2-ls and pvfs2-cp fails

[Sam Lang]

Hi Luiz,

We've seen this with the newest version of Berkeley DB.  See Murali's  
comments from a previous thread:

http://www.beowulf-underground.org/pipermail/pvfs2-users/2006- 
December/001673.html

You should be able to use berkeley db 4.3 just fine, so if you have  
an older version installed (or can download and install it), you can  
use the --with-db option to configure while building pvfs to point it  
at the older version.
