[pybsddb] Error message when install Berkeley DB Please help.

[Decao Yin]

Hi,

I start getting confused/lost and losing patience.
It is soooo complicated than any other package.
Sorry, I'm not a programmer, and I don't know what to 'compile' inside the
folder containing many files.
I also feel such email communication is not efficient and took me a lot of
time after work.
I have skype: yindecao, but I really don't have a lot of time on debugging
and programming.

I can live without using this package, it costs too much time to set it up,
it's not worth it. So maybe it's better to leave it as it is.
Thank you for your help and advice. Have a nice weekend.

Best regards,
Decao
