fixed in python cvs both in HEAD and 2.4 (release24-maint branch).

patch attached to this bug if you just want to apply it to your python 2.4 tarball.  fwiw, its better to use a more recent version of berkeleydb if possible.

Yes this is easy to reproduce.  At the moment the preferred workaround is to use a more recent version of BerkeleyDB <= 4.2 (4.3 support has not yet been committed to the 2.4 maintenance branch).

I'll fix this so that 3.2 works again shortly.

What are the DB_VERSION_MAJOR and DB_VERSION_MINOR macros
defined to in your /usr/include/db.h?

The primaryDBType symbol is only referenced in code compiled
for DB versions 3.3 and higher, and the pget symbol is
referenced in code compiled for DB 3.2 and higher.
