You won't like this (beta 10.1 worked flawlessly on HP-UX 10.20):

I really think that checking for the DB library before actually using it
would be smart :)

I added /users2/local/BerkeleyDB-2.7.5/{include,lib} to -I and -L
respectively.

By that I found out the following:
/users2/local/BerkeleyDB-2.7.5/include/db.h:61: warning: redefinition of uint8_t'
/usr/include/sys/_inttypes.h:62: warning: uint8_t' previously declared here
/users2/local/BerkeleyDB-2.7.5/include/db.h:63: warning: redefinition of uint16_t'
/usr/include/sys/_inttypes.h:64: warning: uint16_t' previously declared here
/users2/local/BerkeleyDB-2.7.5/include/db.h:65: warning: redefinition of uint32_t'
/usr/include/sys/_inttypes.h:66: warning: uint32_t' previously declared here

So HP-UX actually HAS the unint{8,16,32}_t types!
Unfortunaltely in /usr/include/sys/_inttypes.h

If all the salmon caught in Canada in one year were laid end to end
across the Sahara Desert, the smell would be absolutely awful.
