Hi Marius

I'll test it ASAP. I've been sick and not much time for playing with sr. I
created the ticket time ago but did not update it because the berkeley db
version was so old that it was not worthy to take care of that. In my
scenarios, where debian is used, it fails to compile in etch which is a really
outdated version of debian.

There are more plugins that do not compile due to specific versioning.
Sometimes because the lib is too old (ej berkeley module not compiling in etch)
and sometimes because of new versions (ej purple module not compiling in
squeeze).

What I do not know is what to consider a bug. Problems with old versions (how
old?), problems with newer versions (how recent?) or none of them.


cheers,
Jon
