BZZT! Sorry, you shouldn't make statements like that without _positive_ proof.
  You are passing on FUD, nothing more. Many people are having no problems
whatsoever; you can state "it does not work _for me_" but that kind of blanket
statement is not helpful.

Here are _my_ steps, which have worked on several machines with Mandrake 9.1 and
SuSE 9.0, without problem. I have both .so's and headers (in /usr/lib and
/usr/include) of earlier BDB's installed and I haven't had problems.

1) Download and build (using the defaults) Berkeley DB 4.2 (installs into
/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2) and add "/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/lib" to
/etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig;

2) Download and build Apache 2.0.48 using (at least) the following:

./configure \
--enable-dav \
--enable-so \
--with-berkeley-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/

and install into /usr/local/apache2;

3) Download and build Subversion 0.37.0 using (at least) the following:

./configure \
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs

This is all that is required and it works every time I try it. It is also the
simplest way to handle it (relying on Apache to find and link in the proper BDB
library).
