This is a good point. I've also heard complaints that the configure options
aren't the most descriptive that can be. I guess your experience is nearly
the same.

I guess this too is a point for build-system adjustment. However using the
the tarball, this will not be an issue, since pre-built info files are
distributed with it.

There are two BDB issues which might give you this error. The first being a
custom built kernel mismatching the fact that BDB was or was not compiled to
run on an NPTL kernel (See the FAQ for a description). The other being your
Subversion linked against one BDB version and run against another.

Thanks for your input!

Erik.
