What's This Do?

HamsterDB is a great NoSQL, light-weight, C++ database solution. It’s the Sqlite of NoSQL! Unfortunately, building it from source can sometimes be tricky. The problem seems to lie in conflicting versions of automake and the Boost library.

One way that I’ve found to get it to build properly is to explicitly set the library directories before configuring it:

CFLAGS=-l/usr/lib/
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib
LIBS=-lboost_system
./configure

After configuration, make should work!

Let me know how you go!
