I have found the following code in db-4.2.52/env/env_open.c (with line
numbers):

    139 #ifdef HAVE_MUTEX_THREAD_ONLY
    140 if (!LF_ISSET(DB_PRIVATE)) {
    141 __db_err(dbenv,
    142 "Berkeley DB library configured to support only DB_PRIVATE environments");
    143 return (EINVAL);
    144 }
    145 #endif

I have then checked if the string shown appears in the relevant
libraries, and it does. That indicates that my copy of db4 was compiled
with -DHAVE_MUTEX_THREAD_ONLY. This will make env_open() fail with
EINVAL unless called with DB_PRIVATE.

I will subsequently check if it works to set the DB_PRIVATE flag in the
call to env_open(), but actually, I do not (yet) understand the
implications of doing so.

Could I have misunderstood anything?

Regards,
Enrique
