-### Building Berkeley DB from Sources

-#### Download Sources
-
-Download the Berkeley DB 5.3.28 source archive from [Oracle][3] or ZeroC. You
-may use the distribution with encryption or without encryption. Since Ice does
-not use Berkeley DB's encryption features, we recommend downloading the
-no-encryption (-NC) source archive:
-
-```
-wget http://zeroc.com/download/berkeley-db/db-5.3.28.NC.tar.gz
-```
-
-Then unpack this archive:
-```
-gtar xzf db-5.3.28.NC.tar.gz

+### Building LMDB from Sources
 
-#### Patch
-
-Patch Berkeley DB with GNU patch:
-```
-wget http://zeroc.com/download/berkeley-db/berkeley-db.5.3.28.patch
-cd db-5.3.28.NC
-/opt/freeware/bin/patch -p0 < ../berkeley-db.5.3.28.patch
-```
-
-#### Configure
-
-If building 64-bit binaries, set `OBJECT_MODE` to 64:
-```
-export OBJECT_MODE=64
-```
-Otherwise, leave `OBJECT_MODE` unset.
-
-Then configure Berkeley DB with C++ support, and set the installation prefix, 
-for example:
-```
-cd build_unix
-../dist/configure --enable-cxx --prefix=/opt/db53
-```
-
-#### Build and Install
-```
-gmake

-# run gmake install as root or change permissions on /opt/db53 before install
-gmake install
