Problem with FC1 installation and SVN

["C. Heilman" <ch...@voicenet.com>]

Greetings,

    I've just installed Fedorea Core 1 and used yum to install all of 
the upgrades.

    When I try to use "svnadmin create test" to create a repository, I 
get the error: "Berkeley DB error while creating environment for 
filesystem test/db:Invalid argument". This command works on my RH8 system.

    I've seen other posts with this message, but I already have the 
default kernel with nptl. I hope I don't need to remake a bunch of 
things like others are doing for the 1.0 version.

    I'm using the standard Fedora RPMs.
    svn: 0.32.1 (r7497)
    kernel: 2.4.22-1.2174.nptl
    db4: 4.1.25

    Any suggestions as to what I need to do to make this work?


Chet

FC2 will have subversion-1.0 and db-4.2.  It's scheduled for later this
year.  Redhat hasn't traditionally upgraded packages unless there was a
"major" reason to.  A quick scan of their bugzilla doesn't show any
critical reported bugs (other than NPTL which is really a
db4/glibc/kernel problem.)  So maybe we Fedora-Subversion users just
didn't put the problems on their radar screen :-)

BTW: cheilman, it hasn't escaped me that your problem _is_ NPTL/db4
related.  Have you tried the db4 packages linked to from the redhat
bugzilla entry?

Fedora really should have updated their RPMs by now -- 0.32.1 is an 
ancient version of Subversion, and BDB 4.1.x has serious problems 
multi-processor (and in general, it seems). You won't get much support 
for using anything older than Subversion 1.0, I'm afraid, especially for 
a new repository. Have you tried David Summers' RPMs?
