Re: [TCLUG:4063] More libs problems (libdb.so.3)

[Brady Hegberg <bradyh@bitstream.net>]

I'm a little nervous about doing this since I've never compiled anything on
Linux before but the main reason I haven't done something like this is that
I've heard installing programs by hand can result in problems in your RPM
database.  I haven't figured out if this is a big deal or not.
