Can you list for me which versions of sys-libs/db you have installed?
Yes i have versions 4.2.52_p2, 1.85-r2, 3.2.9-r10, 4.1.25_p1-r4, and 4.0.14-r2.
All right, bear with me :) The problem isn't identifying your problem, but figuring out why it's happening. The problem is consistent with DB_File not being able to consistently identify which version of sys-libs/db you have installed. My last shot in the dark before attempting a hackish ebuild to overcome this: ls -al /usr/include/db.h ls -al /usr/lib/libdb.so ls -al /usr/lib/libdb.a They should both have the same timestamp and point to the same major/minor version. My hackish/brute approach would be to dynamically generate a config.in for DB_File, I'm just leery of this approach since it adds room for error/complication.
ls -al /usr/include/db.h lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8 Jan 3 14:52 /usr/include/db.h -> db4/db.h ls -al /usr/lib/libdb.* lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11 Jan 3 14:51 /usr/lib/libdb.a -> libdb-4.2.a lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12 Jan 3 14:52 /usr/lib/libdb.so -> libdb-4.2.so lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11 Jan 3 14:51 /usr/lib/libdb.so.2 -> libdb1.so.2 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12 Jan 3 14:51 /usr/lib/libdb.so.3 -> libdb-3.2.so So this appers to be correct?
I am by no means a DB expert (or even novice hobbyist) - but that doesn't look quite right to me. Below is the output of the same from three of my boxes (one out of date, I know), but in all cases /usr/include/db.h should be symlinked to the same version as libdb.*, ie db4.1/ and libdb-4.1, db4.2/ and libdb-4.2, etc. I suspect that your symlink for /usr/include/db.h should be pointing to /usr/include/db4.2/db.h, not db4/db.h. Would you mind changing that symlink and trying again? Thanks!

Thanks Michael! Changing the above symlink to db4.2/db.h allowed me to install the new DB_File. I do not know what was responsible for the old symlink as I did not ever manually change it myself, perhaps another program (non-portage) that I had installed did some trickery. Anyway thanks again. Should I close this? I'll let someone else decide.
<magic genie waves wand> closed :) Glad it worked out so easily (bad symlink aside). Sorry for the inconvenience, Mike
