Problem setting up repository: svn: Berkeley DB error while creating environment
Hello
I´m trying to set up a svn-Repository and to migrate a
cvs-Repository. Subversion is 0.37 on Fedora, db4 is version 4.1. When
using cvs2svn or when trying "svnadmin create myrep" I always get:
svn: Berkeley DB error while creating environment for filesystem myrep/db:
Invalid argument
Does anybody know the reason for this problem and can give me a hint
to solve it?
Thanks in advance
Stephan

Or grab the latest RH Kernel. Redhat's patched their 2.4.x kernels for
NPTL. Then they compile db4 with NPTL support. If you've got a vanilla
kernel db4 is trying to talk to it in NPTL language and not having much
success :-)
BTW, this is in the FAQ.

Yes. I had the exact same problem on an experimental SVN server when I
upgraded its kernel to 2.6.1. Recompiling db4, etc. solved the problem.

# The probable reason is that db4 is running on a machine that doesn't
# support NPTL (Native Posix Thread Library). Could you tell me if either
# of the following fit your machine:
# 1) Running a non-Redhat 2.4 kernel
# 2) Running on an i586 or lower machine
1) Thats right, Kernel 2.4.21 from kernel.org compiled on that machine.
2) No, its an AMD Athlon-64 running a 32-Bit-Linux.
Sounds like I have to compile db4 for that kernel, right?

The probable reason is that db4 is running on a machine that doesn't
support NPTL (Native Posix Thread Library). Could you tell me if either
of the following fit your machine:
1) Running a non-Redhat 2.4 kernel
2) Running on an i586 or lower machine
