the dbsearchengine plugin in kbabel uses /usr/include/db.h and /usr/lib/libdb.so to compile, which are symlinks, could you check that? maybe there's a mismatch. Here I have: # ls -l /usr/include/db.h /usr/lib/libdb.so ... /usr/include/db.h -> db4.1/db.h ... /usr/lib/libdb.so -> libdb-4.1.so in /usr/include/db4.1/db.h there's: #define db_create db_create_4001 and the corresponding symbol is in /usr/lib/libdb-4.1.so: # readelf -s /usr/lib/libdb-4.1.so | grep db_create 481: 0001acbd 89 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 10 xdr___db_create_reply_400 483: 0004bb18 322 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 10 db_create_4001 717: 00018e7b 144 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 10 __db_db_create_4001 998: 000273a8 231 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 10 __bam_db_create_4001 1145: 000716c0 134 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 10 __ham_db_create_4001 1175: 000959b8 104 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 10 __qam_db_create_4001 1273: 0001ac64 89 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 10 xdr___db_create_msg_4001

yes, it seems something went wrong in the installation of db, the symlink should point to db4.1/db.h. I suggest reemerging db-4.1.
Problem solved by reemerging db. Thanks.
