checking for db_create in RH9

[Edward Rudd]

Did you try Upgrading the RPMS to the nonptl ones?
rpm -Uvh db4-*
the list of db4's should be 
db4-4.0.14-20_nonptl
db4-devel-4.0.14-20_nonptl
db4-utils-4.0.14-20_nonptl

if you installed the RPMS built from simon's updated spec file for RH 9.

also make sure you don't have any other db -devel packages
running 'rpm -qa db\*-devel' should only list the db4 devel packages.
if there are others try removing them (ie. rpm -e db3-devel)

Forcing installation OVER another package is always bad.. Always do an
upgrade (-U) or a freshen (-F), never use (--force)

Try looking at the config.log file in the cyrus-imapd source directory
(where the configure script is) and see what the error message it has
when it checks for db_create. then post that to the mailing list..
