This is often caused on Linux because the BDB 4.2 lib directory isn't known to the dynamic linker.
On Linux you need to add it to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig, I don't know Solaris any more but I
would expect there to be a similar configuration step required.

I think others have answered this one. Perhaps I should add a section 'installing the built
binaries'. That information is there, but you would have to read the bit about how to test your
system to find it.

There is a build batch file at http://www.subversionary.org/build/win32-1-0-x/build.html the
instructions there are the same as in the INSTALL file on the 1.0.x branch, the batch file doesn't
appear to have made it onto the branch.
