Go to http://www.sleepycat.com, grab the latest BerkeleyDB, install it,
re-install the Perl module DB_File, and try again. It's likely that RH messed
these up somewhere. Otherwise, check that your includes and library paths are
in sync (some versions of BerkeleyDB use different paths).

I had this problem also with redhat 7.1, and I fixed it the same way.
I believe it is caused by loading two different versions of the same shared
object into the Apache webserver. In my case, I was loading one version
(db2) of berkeley db with:
LoadModule db_auth_module modules/mod_auth_db.so
and then a different version with DB_File.so inside mod_perl. If you leave
the /usr/include/db.h pointing to db3/db.h when you compile DB_File, it
results in a version 3 DB_File.so object.
Another solution would probably be to comment out the LoadModule statement
in your .conf. But that would only work if you don't need it for anything.

Just in case someone else has the same problem ...
I did all the above but not
'2 c - change the value of DBNAME to -db2'
And in /usr/lib/ I created a sym link libdb.a pointing to libdb2.a (the
version I wanted to use and then it worked.
thanks everyone for your help

I have seen this one before, you will have to recompile DB_File.pm. Maybe
someone can shade some light of why this happen, anyways here's how I fix it.
1) I changed the symlink of db.h under /usr/include (btw, I'm using redhat 7.1)
and point it to db2/db.h
i.e. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jul 12 11:05 db.h -> db2/db.h
2) untar the source of db_file.pm and modify the config.in file
- change the value of INCLUDE to /usr/include
- change the value of LIB to /usr/lib
- change the value of DBNAME to -db2
3) save and compile, install the source.
-I have choose to use BerkelyDB 2 instead of 3, since I still have some berkely
db file generated with BerkelyDB2.
-I am not completely sure if this will cause any harm to the system (especially
the symlink part), but so far, everything works just fine for me.
Good luck.
