I have installed VM-7.14 in GNU Emacs 21.2.1. But everytime I press "H", it says "Berkeley DB support needed to run this command". This file is NOT being generated automatically although I have set "vm-folders-summary-database" to this file. Xemacs with VM-7.07 is working fine with regarding this problem. I am running GNU Emacs 21.2.1 on a Red Hat 8.0. Please help!! -Subhankar
