Berkeley DB Reference Guide: Building Berkeley DB for UNIX systems

FreeBSD

1. I can't compile and run multithreaded applications.

   Special compile-time flags are required when compiling threaded applications on FreeBSD. If you are compiling a threaded application, you must compile with the _THREAD_SAFE and -pthread flags:

   cc -D_THREAD_SAFE -pthread ...

   The Berkeley DB library will automatically build with the correct options.

2. I get occasional failures when running RPC-based programs under FreeBSD clients.

   There is a known bug in the XDR implementation in the FreeBSD C library from version 2.2 up to version 4.0-RELEASE, that causes certain-sized messages to fail and return a zero-filled reply to the client. A bug report (#16028) has been filed with FreeBSD. The following patch is the FreeBSD fix:

   *** /usr/src/lib/libc/xdr/xdr_rec.c.orig	Mon Jan 10 10:20:42 2000
   --- /usr/src/lib/libc/xdr/xdr_rec.c	Wed Jan 19 10:53:45 2000

   ! 	if ((header & (~LAST_FRAG)) == 0)
     		return(FALSE);
     	rstrm->fbtbc = header & (~LAST_FRAG);
     	return (TRUE);
