python/svn issues....

[bruce]

david...

thanks for the reply...

it's starting to look as though the actual /usr/lib/libdb-4.2.so from the
rpm isn't exporting any of the symbols...

when i do:
nm /usr/lib/libdb-4.2.so | grep db_create

i get
 nm: /usr/lib/libdb-4.2.so: no symbols

which is strange... because i should be getting the db_create symbol...

i'll try to build berkeley db by hand and see what i get...

if you could try the 'nm' command against your berkely.. i'd appreciate you
letting me know what you get..

thanks

bruce

This looks like a problem when Subversion was built: this library was
not linked against the Berkeley DB libraries.

You can check what's linked using ldd, and see the unresolved symbols
with ldd -r. For instance, on my AMD64 Debian system,

$ ldd -r /usr/lib/libsvn_fs_base-1.so.0
        libsvn_delta-1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsvn_delta-1.so.0

        libtasn1.so.2 => /usr/lib/libtasn1.so.2 (0x0000002a96d1b000)

If it doesn't look like that, then I'd say your Subversion package was
built badly. You may also want to run ldd on your svn binary, to see what
libraries it pulls in.
