You already know about FSFS, so I won't make the obligatory suggestion
there.

But also, it might help to know that I've had no trouble with
Subversion repositories on RedHat or other boxes that already had some
flavor of BDB and/or APR installed, as long as I make sure to install
Berkeley from source (remembering to add /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/lib
to /etc/ld.so.conf), then build Apache and APR/APR-UTIL from source
(making sure they configured against the new BDB), then build
Subversion (making sure it configures against all of the above)...

Well, now that I write it out, it does seem a bit intricate :-). But
it has worked reliably.

Good luck! If you can think of any steps we can take to make these
problems less common (for those sticking with BDB), please share them.
I just checked out the ingres3 repository, by the way.
