db42-support-patch on Apache fails

["John L. Poole" <jo...@editionspoole.com>]

I have tried to install the Subversion server in two different Linux 
environments and still run into the same problem with the configure 
script not being able to find the Berkeley database.

Here's what I did:
Installed the latest version of Berkeley (4.2.52.NC plus it's two 
patches: 4.2.52.1 & 2) using all the defaults settings; built it 
(configure, make, make install) in /usr/local/src.

Downloaded and installed the current Apache release (httpd-2.0.49).
Patched the Apache release with your patch db42-support-patch.txt.
attempted to configure Apache and the configuration failed:

configure: error: Berkeley db4 not found


The Apache patch session and configuration report are attached.

But you didn't add the path to the Berkeley libs into /etc/ld.so.conf and then 
run 'ldconfig' to update the linker cache, did you?  That still needs to be 
added to the FAQ entry.  I have also noted that it matters whether you are using 
a tar file (with the included apr/apr-lib files) or if you have a checked out 
copy of the repository.

Also, FWIW, /usr/local/src is the place where local _source_ files are normally 
placed, not library files.  Since you mentioned using defaults, I suspect you 
meant /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/ (so you would have added the full path 
'/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/lib' to /etc/ld.so.conf).
