[Open Office] ooo2 m129 configure issues for detection db (maybe distro specific)

[Christian Hamar]

Hi. I'm new on this list :) First a short about me.

I'm from Hungary and working on the frugalware linux distribution. I'm
the maintainer of the x86_64 tree (of frugalware) 

I tried many attempts to build ooo2 on a frugalware 64bit version. I got
succees and fails. 

So. The thing about i wrote to this list.

I found that there is a patch named config_office-system-db-4.3.diff in
m129 patches/src680. This patch is for correct the DB detection in
configure script (add support for db 4.3) . But at me on frugalware it
fails, and could not detect db 4.3. 

I did a little correction for that patch.

The original like this:

And the small hack (the patch for config_office-system-db-4.3) :

As you can see, i did only put LIBS="${LIBS} -lpthread" after the do.

I don't know why it is needed or what is wrong on my system. But this
patch solves DB detection at frugalware linux.

I think it is a distro specific bug. 

Where can i report this or how can i fill a bugreport about a distro
specific bug ?

Regards
