Ah, that looks promising. I substituted -ldb with -ldb-4.2 in the
Makefile AFTER I configured and then when I added the -I/usr/include/db42
in the make operation as suggested above.

However, when I do a 'ldd svn' it shows both libdb-4.1 and libdb-4.2 (in
that order). Is that going to cause a problem? (This is all compiled
with a BDB 4.2 that has --unique-name option compiled in).

I'm getting ready to run it through the Subversion tests but I'm not
convinced that will show me whether there is a problem or not because it
passed all the tests with just DB 4.1.25 as well.

I'll try that next and see what happens.

Thanks!
