BerkeleyDB 4.8.x on Cray XC30

Our applications use Berkeley DB for storing data and we do not have time to upgrade it for using some other modern key-value databases.

Since we will build Java API, we should load the module java. In addition, we will use the latest version of GNU Compiler, which is 4.8.1.

% module unload PrgEnv-cray
% module load PrgEnv-gnu
% module load java

Now, it is time to begin.
