I have db-4.3.29-r2 installed, but the subversion-1.4.2 configure script can't find it. The fact is that there are usually multiple db versions installed because of the slot mechanism. I triggered this problem after unmerging old unneeded versions. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge subversion with the following use flags: USE="apache2 berkdb java nls perl python -bash-completion -emacs -nowebdav -ruby" Actual Results: running configure: (...) checking for socket in -lsocket... no checking for availability of Berkeley DB... no configure: error: Berkeley DB 4.0.14 wasn't found. !!!
