nice, lucky you :)

this means your berkeley db4.2 libs are broken.  try recompiling with -lpthread.
   i think you can either try LIBS='-lpthread' ./configure, or run configure and
amend resulting Makefile LIBS line with -lpthread.  iirc, i had similar problems
when redhat introduced ntpl thread libs out of the blue.

ok, theoretically these shouldn't get in the way.

fair enough.  it is possible, although particularly with berkeley db4 not
recommended, to force remove the rpms with 'rpm -e db4 db4-devel --nodeps' and
drop the /spare/local/lib into ld.so.conf to fill in the gaps.  i've done this
numerous times on redhat with ssl and ldap where the libs dont vary quite as
much from minor version to minor version, unfortunately with berkeley it's
extremely sensitive and thus usually a really, really bad idea.

hmm, this is more for solaris, i dont think it does much on linux.
 
> /spare/local/lib is the top entry in ld.so.conf and I then ran ldconfig.

unfortunately ldconfig silently inserts the 'system library paths' -ie /lib,
/usr/lib before everything else.  i dont know how to change this, although would
love to know how.

as you're specifying --bdb-libdir and its ignoring it, i would recommend looking
in the config.log for the test for this switch.  i'd hazard a guess and say it's
failing because of the broken libraries, and thus falling back to the system db4
libs it finds in /usr/lib.  fix these broken libs in /spare/local/lib and i
suspect all will be well.

good luck :)  let us know if this helps, i'm sure i'm not the only one in the
past who has come up against this problem.
