-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
I've just spent much of the afternoon banging my head against a wall
working this one out.
I wanted to rebuild apache with berkeley db backend support in the bundled
APR-Util, so I could then move on to a new subversion install. I
faithfully added in the --with-dbm=db4 --with-berkeley-db to my configure
command, however it didn't get linked in and on further inspection
configure script didn't even appear to search for db.h etc at all.
I checked all over the system for errant db installs, finally deleting and
upgrading the one I had all to no avail.
I then tried using --with-included-apr on the command line at configure
time and finally it searched for, located and correctly found the berkeley
db install and linked it into the final apache build.
I'm pretty much guessing here, however I am assuming the original
configure saw APR libraries in place from the previous (without db) build
of apache and decided it didn't require to use the included version, until
I forced the issue with the additional parameter. Presumably where no
previous apache install is present, the configure script automatically
sets up to build the required APR libs.
Having rebuilt, the existing APR libraries were all overwritten with the
newly created ones, so I guess this might be an issue where someone is
installing APR and APR-Util separately. As I understand it however, this
isn't recommended where a full Apache install is taking place.
