multiple versions of bdb, svn on one box

From: solo turn <soloturn99_at_yahoo.com>

for bdb, i always thought this is easy:
- /usr/local/db4.0
- /usr/local/db4.1
and you are done.

how is it possible to use two different versions of svn in the same
httpd, like a svn_mod_dav.so, and a svn_mod_dav_dev.so? or svn1.0,
and svn1.1?

Because apr has its own DBM API, and it uses whatever version of
Berkeley it can find on your system. What you're running into here
is
some kind of header/library mismatch.

Just a temporary situation this one time. We normally try to base
svn
releases on public httpd/apr/apr-util releases.

I feel your pain. This pain has been hounding me for years. It
seems
that different versions of BDB simply *cannot* coexist on one box,
and
as a result, every OS has implemented its own custom solution to the
problem (renaming libraries, installing them in weird places, etc.)
It makes our ./configure system hellish.
