Thanks, Timo. Is this the only patch that needs to go in for the current
version (2.2.15)? I've applied this to 2.2.15, and configured and compiled
as before:

CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib ./configure
--with-cdb
make

and I still get the same errors.

Did you run autogen.sh again before configure?

Sorry, but I dont see an autogen.sh anywhere in the tarball - not for
2.2.15, nor for the newly released 2.2.16.
