I am unable to install dev-util/subversion-1.5.0_rc4. First, I tried to emerge it with the berkdb USE flag set, but the subversion configure script said it couldn't find db4.0.13, though I have sys-libs/db-4.5.20_p2 installed. Next, I tried to emerge subversion without the berkdb USE flag set. This time the configure step succeeded and it tried to build it, but after a few minutes, there was a link error when an attempt was made to link with -ldb. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1a. USE=berkdb emerge subversion 1b. USE=-berkdb emerge subversion Actual Results: Failure for first part (berkdb USE flag set) -------------------------------------------- checking for availability of Berkeley DB... no configure: error: Berkeley DB 4.0.14 wasn't found. !!!

Reinstall APR-util: emerge -1 apr-util
Ok, by re-emerging sys-libs/db-4.5.20_p2, it fixed things so subversion builds. I still think it's wrong that the Subversion build tried to link with libdb even when emerged with USE=-berkdb, but at least I have things working now.
(In reply to comment #8) > the Subversion build tried to link with libdb even when emerged with > USE=-berkdb I can't reproduce it.
(In reply to comment #7) > Reinstall APR-util: > emerge -1 apr-util > "emerge -1 apr-util" made subversion install (though I don't understand why svn-client needs a db at all).
