Ahh, I see the problem was that I thought I was really recompiling, but =
I wasn't.  My first compile was without any --with options on configure. =
 I then tried to do configure '--with-everything' on the same source =
files, which didn't really rebuild anything when I did 'make =
install-strip'. =20

Completely deleting the directory and starting from a fresh set of =
sources did the trick.

Thanks Raul!  :)

    Hi Jason :)

    Well, the only reason for that error to appear is that the
"puredb" authentication method is not built in and that means that
WITH_PUREDB was not defined, which in turn means that you didn't give
"--with-everything" or "--with-puredb" when you built your binary.

    Check if you installed the binary after building (things like
this has happened to me in the past), if you have two different
servers in different locations and the old one is being invoked, etc.
I can't find, looking at the sources, any reason for that message to
appear if the support for puredb was enabled :??

    Probably your best bet is to build from pristine sources and
invoke the server directly from the directory where it was built. I
can't think of a better solution: as I told, looking at the sources
the only cause for that error is that the support is not enabled.

    And BTW, from the sources I see that spaces are not allowed
between the option and the argument.
