The PERL DB_File module requires db4-devel [Fix]

Another OpenCA error – The PERL DB_File module requires db4-devel while installing OpenCA package on CentOS machine. The error is similar to the ones i had faced while installing OpenCA – PERL XML Parser module requires expat-devel and openssl/err.h, no such file or directory. Well, this tutorial will explain how to solve “PERL DB_File module requires db4-devel.”

Below is the snapshot of the error:

$make

checking Perl module ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.31+... Ok.
checking DB_File devel... ERROR!

*** ERROR::The PERL DB_File module requires the db4-devel one (/usr/include/db.h or /usr/include/libdb4/db.h)!

Fix PERL DB_File module requires db4-devel

The make failed while checking developer package of DB_FILE and it means, installing libdb-devel should solve the error.

On CentOS:

# yum install libdb-devel

On Ubuntu variants:

# apt-get install libdb-dev

That’s it! Now the OpenCA will compile without any problem.
