db4 error message when building subversion rpms

Hi

I have just built a new set of subversion rpms on a redhat 9 box and I
noticed this message:

  configure: WARNING: we have configured for a client-only build

  The Subversion filesystem library, part of the server, requires
  Berkeley DB version 4.0.14 or newer, which you don't seem to have
  installed.  We have created makefiles which will build the Subversion
  client code only, and skip the server.  You can find latest version of
  Berkeley DB at http://www.sleepycat.com/.  You can find the latest
  version of Berkeley DB here:
  http://www.sleepycat.com/download/index.shtml

  As an option, you may build Berkeley DB directly within the Subversion
  source tree. Download and extract the Berkeley distribution, then
  rename db-4.0.14/ to db/ in the top level of the Subversion source
  tree.

I do have all the db4 packages I can find installed:

  [chris@snowball src]$ apt-cache search db4
  db4 - The Berkeley DB database library (version 4) for C.
  db4-devel - Development files for the Berkeley DB (version 4) library.
  db4-java - Development files for using the Berkeley DB (version 4) with Java.
  db4-utils - Command line tools for managing Berkeley DB (version 4) databases.

  [root@snowball src]# apt-get install db4 db4-devel db4-utils
  Reading Package Lists... Done
  Building Dependency Tree... Done
  db4 is already the newest version.
  db4-devel is already the newest version.
  db4-utils is already the newest version.
  0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 removed and 3 not upgraded.
  
I'm not running a server on this box so I don't know if it has just
built a client and not a server but I'm in the process of building a new
subversion on a redhat 8.0 box that does run a server and it has the
same error message...

Hi

I guess this error can just be ignored -- I have just upgraded a
server with a package that has the same error message as below and
it seems to work fine :-)

Yeah, my RPMS build both a static and dynamic build.  The static build is 
just so I can get svnadmin in static form so people have a recourse if 
they update their RPMS before reading conversion documents when there is a 
DB4 format change or when they update to a new Subversion which is 
incompatable with the older one.  Then they can do a "svn dump"/"svn load"
cycle with the old static svnadmin without having to re-install the old RPMS.

I just ignore that warning but it would be nice if it were fixed to 
not warn about it (because its not true).
