[Indraveni <in...@yahoo.co.in>]

Hi,

I  am tring to install subversion in my system. I installed BerkeleyDB 
in my sytem. and when i am running the configure script.. like

 ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs 
--with-berkeley-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/ --with-ssl=/usr/local/openssl-0.9.7g/ 
--with-neon=/usr/local/neon/

It is showng an error message like BerkeleyDB not found. what may be 
the problem.. The 
last lines of output for the above command is pasted below.

Some on eplease help me in installling subversion in my system.

As far as I know, Subversion 1.3.x releases do not support Berkeley DB 
4.4, so if what I have below resolves the problem above you will 
probably run into another one.

 From http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2006-06/0491.shtml by Ryan Schmidt:

"Also, if you don't specifically need BerkeleyDB support, you can
compile Subversion without it. Subversion generally works great with
just the FSFS backend, which many find simpler to set up and
administer. You would only need BDB support if you wanted to access
an existing BDB repository, or if you prefer BDB over FSFS for some
reason."

If you still want to try to resolve your problem, see below

 From http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2006-06/0625.shtml by myself

I had a similar problem on my system (Ubuntu 5.10) and just figured it 
out yesterday. The problem with mine was that I compiled and installed 
4.3.29, but Ubuntu ships with BDB 4.3.28. The header file check in 
configure for apr-util passes, but the library test fails. Ie (excerpted 
lines only):

configure:18564: checking db.h presence
configure:18600: result: yes
configure:18635: checking for db.h
configure:18642: result: yes
configure:18658: checking for -ldb-4.3
configure:18754: result: no

Check your config.log in apr util for similar messages.

By taking a closer look I realized that what happened is that the Ubuntu 
default bdb libraries in /usr/lib were being found first, so the library 
version found did not match the header. So then I instead used that 
version by --with-berkeley-db=/usr. That fixed it.

If RedHat also ships with a version of BDB, you may have the same issue 
and want to try similar. Make sure you install the berkeley db 
development rpm (if there is one, there was a separate package in Ubuntu 
for it), then try something similar to what I have done.

When I searched online with similar problems, I think they all had the 
same problem as me. None of them had the problem resolved; the only 
advice they were given was to not compile with it.
