Re: Is BDB 4.1.25 okay?

Maybe because you mistyped the path to BDB there? :-)

Whatever the case, make sure that the BerkeleyDB libs are in your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or else the configure test will fail.

Actually, let me summarize the larger picture here. As of svn 0.33, our
BDB build strategy has changed:

* apr-util now looks for all versions of BDB, and chooses one.
* Subversion's configure simply asks the installed apr-util for BDB.

This prevents Subversion and Apache/apr-util from using two different
versions of BDB.

This means that the best way to do things is:

* make sure BDB 4.0 or 4.1 is installed at location $FOO
* make sure $FOO is in your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
* unpack the httpd tarball, run

   ./configure --with-berkeley-db=$FOO --with-dbm=db4 (plus other args)

   These two arguments get passed down to apr-util's configure -- it
tells apr-util where to find BDB, and specifically to only choose db4 if
multiple db versions are available.

* configure subversion with no mention of BDB stuff. It only needs to
find apr-util and "ask" for the BDB build info. (If apache is installed
in /usr/local/apache2/, this will happen automatically, else you need to
pass --with-apr=, --with-apr-util=)
