saslpasswd2 segfault on Slackware 10.1 (Mayday)

[Matthew Cook]

Howdy,

I have a sticky problem building and installing cyrus-sasl-2.1.21 on my 
Slackware 10.1 box.   I've googled alot over the last two nights and this 
issue appears to be the result of the Berkeley database lib that sasl is 
being linked to.

I am using the following configure options to build;

./configure \
--prefix=/usr \
--enable-anon \
--enable-plain \
--enable-login \
--disable-krb4 \
--disable-otp \
--disable-cram \
--disable-digest \
--with-saslauthd=/var/run/saslauthd \
--with-plugindir=/usr/lib/sasl2 \
--without-pam \
--with-mysql \
--with-openssl

There are no errors and after building I see the following libraries are 
being linked against;

root at Tweety:/# ldd /usr/sbin/saslpasswd2
         libsasl2.so.2 => /usr/lib/libsasl2.so.2 (0x40022000)
         libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40037000)
         libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x4003c000)
         libdb-4.2.so => /lib/libdb-4.2.so (0x4004f000)
         libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40122000)
         /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

It appears my system is picking up the v4.2 berkeley libs.   I know that 
the following berkely libs are included on this system;

root at Tweety:/lib# ls -al libdb*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 508752 2004-05-12 10:39 libdb-3.1.so*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 604216 2004-05-12 11:01 libdb-3.3.so*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 867492 2004-05-30 15:33 libdb-4.2.so*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     15 2005-09-08 17:38 libdb.so.2 -> libdb1.so.2.1.3*
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     11 2005-09-08 17:38 libdb.so.3 -> libdb2.so.3*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  55516 2005-01-25 03:32 libdb1.so.2.1.3*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 264288 2005-01-25 03:32 libdb2.so.3*

All of the HOWTO's I've found seem to either mention or use the libdb-3.3 
libs, not the 4.x series.   Now if I try to run the saslpasswd2 util I get 
the following;

root at Tweety:/# saslpasswd2 -c -u vk5zmc.org matthew
Password:****
Again (for verification):****
/etc/sasldb2
Segmentation fault

Now if I compile adding this additional option --with-dblib=gdbm I am able 
to execute saslpasswd2 util with out any hoohah.  Except I am using a 
database lib that cyrus-imap does not support :-(

Now for the GDB guru's;

#6  0x080490fc in main (argc=5, argv=0x804c1bc) at saslpasswd.c:411

At first I thought it was a file permission problem so I have temporarily 
changed the file permissions to the sasldb2 file thus;

root at Tweety:/etc# ls -al sasl*
-rw-rw-rw-  1 root sasl 0 2005-09-26 09:59 sasldb2

But that didn't work either.   I am also looking to use the cyrus imap 
server hence I need to compile cyrus-sasl and cyrus-imapd against the same 
libs.

Any help or pointers to what I am not doing correctly would be greatly 
appreciated.

Regards

Matthew
