Berkeley DB:

During the make, you may get errors of:

cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option “-fvar-tracking-assignments-toggle”, I just made the libmyfix-flag … = to null in all test/Makefiles* and any references to it in the Makefile, Makefile.am, and Makefile.in

This builds but now I need to figure out how to to run this thing!

For CENTOS users:
