DBERROR db4: /var/lib/imap/db/__db.001: unable to initializeenvironment lock: Function not implemented

[Mobeen Azhar]

The problem is caused by your DB4 using posix threads which RedHat has badly
mangled in RH 9.0.  I went through the same issues.  You have a couple of
ways out:

1)  Download the DB4 source RPM.  Edit the spec. file and remove the
--enable-threads piece and rebuild the RPM.  If you like, I can email you
the edited SPEC file or the complete working binary DB4 RPM built without
posix threads.

2)  Edit Simon's SPEC file in his source RPM and do not use DB4.  I have had
problems with skiplist also, so I would recommend removing all db definition
in the source rpm and letting the build choose the defaults (a combination
of flat files and db3-nosync).

3)  Try to figure out why posix threads are not working on your system.  Are
you running an i686 system?  Did you have RedHat's up2date update your
glibc?  Look at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88456
for this nightmare (which RedHat seems to be completely ignoring at the
moment).

<tongue in cheek>
Of course, the easiest way out might be to switch to another distro. :)

Hello Cyrus! (everyone ;-))

i'm using your sasl and imapd ;-), that's fine, but there
are some big problems.

Version SASL 2.1.13
Version IMAP 2.1.13
(both SRPMS from Simon Matter)

OS: RedHat 9.0 (on RH 8 it's working)

I'm using Berkeley DB 4.0.14 build from RedHat.

Problem 1:
May 25 22:08:32 jockel ctl_cyrusdb[17650]: checkpointing cyrus databases
May 25 22:08:32 jockel ctl_cyrusdb[17650]: DBERROR db4:
/var/lib/imap/db/__db.001: unable to initialize environment lock:
Function not implemented
May 25 22:08:32 jockel ctl_cyrusdb[17650]: DBERROR: dbenv->open
'/var/lib/imap/db' failed: Function not implemented
May 25 22:08:32 jockel ctl_cyrusdb[17650]: DBERROR: init
/var/lib/imap/db: cyrusdb error
May 25 22:08:32 jockel ctl_cyrusdb[17650]: done checkpointing cyrus
databases

Problem 2:
May 25 01:08:32 jockel lmtpd[7633]: DBERROR db4:
/var/lib/imap/db/__db.001: unable to initialize environment lock:
Function not implemented
May 25 01:08:32 jockel lmtpd[7633]: DBERROR: dbenv->open
'/var/lib/imap/db' failed: Function not implemented
May 25 01:08:32 jockel lmtpd[7633]: DBERROR: init /var/lib/imap/db:
cyrusdb error
May 25 01:08:32 jockel lmtpd[7633]: lmtpd: unable to init duplicate
delivery database

I've no problems building the sasl and imapd.
