Subversion 0.34.0 compile on Debian 3.0 Woody

Hi,

I spent a lot of time to compile the Subversion 0.34.0 (and similar versions) in Debian 3.0 which is very new to me. I have installed Subversion in Redhat several times without any problem.

Event though the BerkeleyDB.4.0 in installed in /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.0 directory, the ‘configure’ complains:

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 and linked to APR-UTIL. 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:

(I saw this message more than hundred times. No kidding. :-)

The problem was compiling a sample test source code (conftest.c generated by configure line 9129) with –ldb-4.0, and running the test program. The compiling was successful, but when Configure runs the conftest.c, the error message says:
error while loading shared libraries: libdb-4.0.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So the Configure assume that I don’t have db4.

Simply I added /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.0/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf, and that solves the huge problem.
Just adding one line makes me happy. ☺

Is this a know problem?
