General filesystem error: Bad database version, was: Re: swiggy bdb problems.

Hi

I have exactly the same error as the email in the thread I'm replying
to [1].

I did have a Redhat 9 box running David's RPMS and SVN::Web installed
using CPAN.

Yesterday I upgraded this box to Fedora 2, discovered that subversion
doesn't work on Fedora 2 with a K6 300 [2] so this morning I switched
the disks into a old celeron and did a force install of 4 i686 rpms and
now subversion works.

I have also built all the RPMs needed for SVN::Web to run and installed
these, however I now have this error when trying to browse repos using
SVN::Web:

  General filesystem error: Bad database version: compiled with 4.2.52,
  running against 4.0.14 at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/SVN/Web.pm
  line 101

The happy ending below was a result of recompiling apache and subversion
-- I have installed the apache 2 SRPM from Fedora 2 and can't see
anything in the spec file about berkeley db's... does anyone have any
suggestions that might point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Chris
