RE: SVN 0.31 / DB4.0.14 / Redhat 9, having problems with WebDAV(mod_dav_svn)

Lenny, you may have had an older version of libdb4.0 installed either as part of
another RPM or just laying around (from your description).

Try using "rpm -q -f /lib/libdb-4.0.so" to see what package owns it.

Your use of ldd was great. :) It's really helpful to use it when things like this
happen.

Secondly, any *.so file as I'm sure you know, is a shared library. It is rare that a
program looks for it in a specific location. It is most often used in the order in
which it was discovered by going through the directories listed in /etc/ld.so.conf.

If you have the wrong version in /lib, all you really should need to do is delete
it. The symlink should be unnecessary. If you delete the /lib version and do an
'ldd', you should see the new libdb-4.0.so file being picked up.

As long as the correct version exists somewhere else in one of the directories
listed in /etc/ld.so.conf.

Let me know if this helps any.

in solved the problem... geez.
