redhat 9 berkley db errors
When using the subversion RPM from red hat
(subversion_0.17.1-4503.0_i386.rpm) or latest the RPMs available on the
website (subversion-0.21.0-5641.i386.rpm). I get the following error
when trying to run "svnadmin create":
svnadmin create tester
svn: Berkeley DB error
svn: Berkeley DB error while creating environment for filesystem tester/db:
Function not implemented
Is there something that I'm missing?

Happy to!
A couple of quick points:
1. Your patch doesn't seem to apply to the latest FAQ. Please
update and regenerate?
2. Paths like "/extra/ralph/svn/www/project_faq.html" make it
*slightly* harder to apply the patch :-). Not a big deal, but
if you post with paths relative to the top of the trunk of the

I'm running a 2.4.20 kernel.org kernel with no patches.
Is there a specific place I need to get NPTL from, and/or a specific
version I need to have?
Also is this documented anywhere in the subversion docs that this is a
requirement for subversion on linux? If not should it be since this
isn't something that comes in the standard kernel.org kernel?

Hi,
What kernel are you running?
I saw something similar due to running a kernel that doesn't have
support for NPTL.
Ralph.

I rebooted with the standard red hat 9 kernel, and now get the following
errors:
[root@azl azl]# uname -srvpo
Linux 2.4.20-8 #1 Thu Mar 13 17:54:28 EST 2003 i686 GNU/Linux
[root@azl azl]# svnadmin create tester
svnadmin: relocation error: svnadmin: undefined symbol: svn_cmdline_init
This error occurs with any svn* command that I run.

I don't think running "vanilla" kernals has ever been an explicitly
endorsed path for Red Hat users. NPTL is just the most visible thing
that's different; there's a lot of little things that have gone into
the RH kernels in the past that weren't in mainstream (I was bitten
by the software raid on-disk format differences in the 7.x line, and
I remember there being some differences between mainline and RH with
some of the autofs stuff).
If you *really* want a newer kernel release for some reason, grab the
latest SRPM from Red Hat, and work through applying the patches to a
newer kernel (or getting the newest version of those particular patches
instead). It's a long process trying to merge everything and get a
working kernel, but it's the most likely route to producing a reliable
system. Or, just stick with what Red Hat ships with releases and their
errata packages. ;-)

I'm currently using RedHat 9 with a custom kernel, and I can confirm
that it works to recompile db4 from the source RPM, but I had to
manually remove the --enable-posixmutexes stuff from the spec file
first. I don't know why, but I had to do an "svnadmin recover" on my
repositories before I could access them. I also had to recompile Apache
HTTPD 2.0.45 since it too was using POSIX mutexes. I think I see other
smaller problem as well, but I have not been able to isolate them yet.
It may very well be totally unrelated problems.
Does anyone here know if RedHat plan to fix this, or if it is supposed
to be really hard to run vanilla kernels with RedHat 9? (If I had known
this before, I would not have "upgraded" my server.)

This happens if you don't boot the right kernel - either use the kernel
provided with Red Hat Linux 9, or recompile DB4 on your current kernel.
There are more details in this bug report:
