AFAIK, Xastir doesn't use versions of Berkeley DB newer than 4.9. That's
because its configure only probes up to that level --- if you look in
acinclude.m4, you'll find a loop over versions that starts at 4.9 and works
backward.
I believe if you only have bdb 5.1 on your system, configure will report that
it can't do map caching.
It *may* be possible to use these newer versions of BDB with Xastir --- if
so, then all it will take is changing that loop, rebootstrapping, reconfiguring,
and rebuilding. But AFAIK nobody has tested it with such a new version.
If you test Xastir and find that map caching works just fine with BDB 5.1,
then I'll happily modify the acinclude.m4 file in CVS.
