3 months ago I just stumbled on the same error on my rpi5. The solution is rather simple. Just add the option --build=arm and you're done.
This is because the old configure script doesn't know about your hardware and can't guess the system. For the compute module it also should be --build=arm
Hello all, I need your help because I will not find a solution.
I use Raspberry Compute Modul an get following error by compiling DB. Can anyone help me in this case?
