If you are compiling a threaded application, you must compile with the _THREAD_SAFE flag and load with specific libraries; for example, "-lc_r". Specifying the compiler name with a trailing "_r" usually performs the right actions for the system.</p> <blockquote><pre>xlc_r ... cc -D_THREAD_SAFE -lc_r ...</pre></blockquote> <p>The Berkeley DB library will automatically build with the correct options.</p> <hr size=1 noshade> <p><li><b>I can't run using the <a href="../../api_c/env_open.html#DB_SYSTEM_MEM">DB_SYSTEM_MEM</a> option to <a href="../../api_c/env_open.html">DB_ENV->open</a>.</b> <p>AIX 4.1 allows applications to map only 10 system shared memory segments.

(These undefined symbols also appear when building the Berkeley DB C++ example applications).</b> <p>By default, Berkeley DB is built with _LARGE_FILES set to 1 to support the creation of "large" database files. However, this also affects how standard classes, like iostream, are named internally. When building your application, use a "-D_LARGE_FILES=1" compilation option, or insert "#define _LARGE_FILES 1" before any #include statements.</p> <hr size=1 noshade> <p><li><b>I can't create database files larger than 1GB on AIX.</b> <p>If you're running on AIX 4.1 or earlier, try changing the source code for <b>os/os_open.c</b> to always specify the <b>O_LARGEFILE</b> flag to the <b>open</b>(2) system call, and recompile Berkeley DB from scratch.</p> <p>Also, the documentation for the IBM Visual Age compiler states that it does not not support the 64-bit filesystem APIs necessary for creating large files; the ibmcxx product must be used instead. We have not heard whether the GNU gcc compiler supports the 64-bit APIs or not.</p> <p>Finally, to create large files under AIX, the filesystem has to be configured to support large files and the system wide user hard-limit for file sizes has to be greater than 1GB.</p> <hr size=1 noshade> <p><li><b>I see errors about "open64" when building Berkeley DB applications.</b> <p>System include files (most commonly fcntl.h) in some releases of AIX, HP-UX and Solaris redefine "open" when large-file support is enabled for applications. This causes problems when compiling applications because "open" is a method in the Berkeley DB APIs. To work around this problem: <ol> <p><li>Avoid including the problematical system include files in source code files which also include Berkeley DB include files and call into the Berkeley DB API. <li>Before building Berkeley DB, modify the generated include file db.h to itself include the problematical system include files. <li>Turn off Berkeley DB large-file support by specifying the <a href="../../ref/build_unix/conf.html#--disable-largefile">--disable-largefile</a> configuration option and rebuilding. </ol></p> </ol> <table width="100%"><tr><td><br></td><td align=right><a href="../build_unix/notes.html"><img src="../../images/prev.gif" alt="Prev"></a><a href="../toc.html"><img src="../../images/ref.gif" alt="Ref"></a><a href="../build_unix/freebsd.html"><img src="../../images/next.gif" alt="Next"></a> </td></tr></table> <p><font size=1>Copyright (c) 1996,2008 Oracle.
