Installing Berkeley DB

Berkeley DB installs the following files into the following locations, with the following default values:

Configuration VariablesDefault value
--prefix/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.Major.Minor
--exec_prefix$(prefix)
--bindir$(exec_prefix)/bin
--includedir$(prefix)/include
--libdir$(exec_prefix)/lib
docdir$(prefix)/docs
FilesDefault location
include files$(includedir)
libraries$(libdir)
utilities$(bindir)
documentation$(docdir)

With one exception, this follows the GNU Autoconf and GNU Coding Standards installation guidelines; please see that documentation for more information and rationale.

The single exception is the Berkeley DB documentation. The Berkeley DB documentation is provided in HTML format, not in UNIX-style man or GNU info format. For this reason, Berkeley DB configuration does not support --infodir or --mandir. To change the default installation location for the Berkeley DB documentation, modify the Makefile variable, docdir.

To move the entire installation tree to somewhere besides /usr/local, change the value of prefix.

To move the binaries and libraries to a different location, change the value of exec_prefix. The values of includedir and libdir may be similarly changed.

Any of these values except for docdir may be set as part of the configuration: 

prompt: ../dist/configure --bindir=/usr/local/bin

Any of these values, including docdir, may be changed when doing the install itself: 

prompt: make prefix=/usr/contrib/bdb install

The Berkeley DB installation process will attempt to create any directories that do not already exist on the system.
