You can also try the IRC channel #haskell at irc.freenode.net for real-time help. Thanks, I'll get an IRC client and give that a try.

I not sure now linking on done on a windows box but aren't you supposed to use '-lLibName'? No, if you do, it will complain, "can't find '-lLibName'". I don't know why, since it's a port of the same program....

Google finds a number of binding to Berkely DB. Have you tried those? I found the MissingH binding, which looks ok, but doesn't expose what I want to use; for instance it's I/O is string-only, and doesn't have cursor support. Besides, while I'm not a great Haskell hacker, I'm pretty ok in C++, and figure I can contribute to the community via making bindings available, and will probably think of other things I also want to integrate to, so I really want to learn the FFI.
