Bug 219937 – dev-util/subversion-1.5.0_rc4 fails to build, two problems w/ sys-libs/db (berkdb)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Colin Bennett 2008-05-01 14:59:27 UTC]

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.

Expected Results:  
Subversion should emerge successfully both with berkdb set and unset. However, neither case works.

Reinstall APR-util:
emerge -1 apr-util

[Comment 8 Colin Bennett 2008-05-02 13:41:57 UTC]

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.

I can't reproduce it.

"emerge -1 apr-util" made subversion install (though I don't understand why svn-client needs a db at all).
